There is no "best". It totally depends on what your goals are. Try doing a search.

Nismo if you want a very streetable clutch similar to stock.

JWT/Fidanza/UR/etc etc if you want a slightly more hardcore clutch

then you have various levels of super harcore....ACT, carbon clutch, 6 puck, etc etc

what are you looking for?

Since I'm looking for a clutch set up too. I'm going to use the car as my daily diriver. Since I want to get the car turboed, with bolt-ons and nitrous in the future.

you want Turbo and Nitrous? you'll prolly need a more beefy clutch than that one..unless you are going mild FI with a small shot of n2o. with FI and n2o you'll most likely be putting down 450+rwtq. look for a clutch that is rated for 600+. if you were just going n2o OR FI and not both, almost any clutch would be fine for the job

You should be able to find an ACT at a better price than that... I have an ACT race clutch that I believe is rated for 600+, not really street friendly... but I'm use to it now. Also have a JWT flywheel...

Would be pointless to just do one or the other... do both..

Best high performance clutch would be the ATS Twin Carbon clutch with flywheel. No question. Stock feel and high performance what esle can you ask for.
