slipping clutch

the clutch has started to slip. information about the car: 2005 lancere evolution rs. the car is bone stock, there are NO modifications to the car at all. i was thinking about going aftermarket as the stock clutch isn't the best. i was thinking something along the lines of act/exedy. can anyone recommend something, or stear me in the right direction as to what i should be looking for. all help is greatly appreciated.

i did search the forums, but found nothing specific to what i was looking for.

For a totally stock car, just get an ACT. They are cheap compared to a twin disk Exedy and you arent putting down the power to warrant anything that extreme.

i took it to the dealership and they denied warranty. i looked through the warranty book and it says nothing about the clutch. it mentioned certain things about the transmission but nothing about the clutch itself.

there is about 27,9xxx miles on the clutch.
