Ran with the XTSS for 50k miles, now onto the Comp Unsprung Stage 2 Full Face setup, these are not bad setups for daily driving.

Well I went with the exedy twin and in the process of reinstalling everything. Thanks for all of the replies. Hopefully I enjoy this clutch as much as you all.
P.S. reinstalling the transmission has been a pain in the f%!king @$$

Clutch swaps are, literally, the ONE thing I dislike the most in regard to our cars.

I had to do mine in the driveway on a jack/jack stands. 1st time doing one and it was humbling experience but next time I'll have a dam lift in the garage.

Would it take weeks or days just working on it a couple hours at a time here and there? I've thought about doing it on jack stands myself instead of paying someone.

I'd say a week, unless you mean two hours of work. Difference being, when I have two hours to spend in the garage, I spend one of those hours setting/cleaning up. Mix in a couple "frustration breaks " and I'm looking at 45mins of solid work. Hella Office Space LOL.

It's 1,000x harder to do on jack stands, but also about $600 cheaper LOL

It took me about 4 days working on it 2-4 hours a day(includes alot of frust ration breaks /4 letter words being thrown out there lol. But it might not take you as long I am not the most seasoned mechanic. I just took my time and quit when I got aggravated or stuck. It will be good to have 1 or 2 extra set of hands also. The hardest part for me was clearance problems, if it wasn't the subframe it was driver side motor mount studs. Engine hoist helped out a lot for me. Good luck with everything if you have any question don't hesitate to ask and I'll try and help
