Clutch recommendations?
Hey all time for a new clutch
Was wondering if any of you have any recommendations as to which clutch is a good replacement.
Car is currently stock except for a Cobb sf intake. Future plans are just the usual bolt ons but not planning on tuning it for a very long time so I don't really expect to gain more than 50tq over stock and don't really need a crazy heavy duty clutch.
Just looking for one that is strong but reasonably priced.

Good Lord...ok 
Alright, on to recommendations then...
First off, remove your clutch restrictor pill ASAP, that will greatly improve the life of any clutch given your driving style. I would probably look into something like the Competition Stage 2 HD Street for you; holding capacity is greatly improved over stock, but it should still drive smooth enough to be a good daily-driver. Once you go anything with pucks rather than a full face disc it's going to start getting very grabby and diminish daily drivability.

Factoring in the price, yes I would recommend comp over the other two. I have used ACT for years and did just fine. Prices started to increase on ACT and comp started to make a clutch that worked pretty well for all Evo applications. You will notice that comps prices are a bit lower but slowly rising.
