Need a Clutch....
Hello, I am currently in the market for a new clutch kit. my 04 evo 8 is basicly stock as of now no idea the power probably about 15-20whp more then stock. I am Looking to upgrade my clutch since my clutch I have now is toast. My driving style...I like to drive a bit aggressively I daily drive my evo I take my car to the track once in a while lets say 2-3 times a year I have had the car for almost a year now and launched it multiple times thus the reason I need a clutch. I am Looking for the perfect clutch setup for my car lets say 380whp-380ft/lb goals full face disc. I have looked into ACT(had that in my talon), Competition(seems like they burn up easy with lauches?), Southbend, and a few other brands. Again I Daily Drive this car everyday, When I race it I race it hard(5500rpms launches banging gears @7400rpms((In 2nd and 3rd, 6500 in 1st)). I want something I can Street drive and also "track" the best bang for my buck please dont critise(sp?) my driving I understand that its not the best type of driving for saving clutches, Just want a decent clutch within my price range of $700-$800 NO TWIN DISC Thanks. The more Input the better thanks guys.

The OEM Clutch can take a lot guy but if you really want peace of mind i would use the ACT HD clutch kit with the street (Sprung) disc. Daily driving would b the same as stock with just a lil harder pedal pressure.

Im not sure what clutch is in it now the car came from north carolina with an invoice for an R&R clutch kit (Repair&Replace?) Im sure the stock exedy is not in there anymore Im just looking for something that can be DD and also take some weekend warrior abuse which I dont abuse every weekend its just a term. I have launched the car since ive owned it probably 12 times 6 times at the track and 6 on the street so lets say I launch it 1 time per month.

I drive the car normal unless im rolling with friends doing pulls on the high way to about 1115-120.

You mentioned comp, the new HD stg 2 is holding up pretty well in Lucas English's Evo.

Well I looked into the Competition Clutches Stage 2 - Street Series 2100 Clutch Kit and ive seen a few good and bad things about it. Can this clutch accept my abuse? I dont want to have to replace it in 2 years. I also had a ACT 2100 Street disc in my 93 Talon TSi That did the job but that was FWD and launches were at like 3500rpms and shifting at 6800rpms. I just dont want to get the wrong clutch for my driving style and burn it up.
