Question What Clutch do you have and do you like it?

I am going to be replacing my clutch soon and want some opinions.

I have a UR flywheel ready to go. My car has a Stillen Stage 3 S/C so I need one with some good clamping force but still has a stock-like petal feel. I have always had Centerforce before since they are made in my home town and I have friends there but they are still expensive.

I forgot to put in oem so if you still want to vote just pick other and say what you have.

Thanks

A few people have voted. Do you like the clutch you have? How does it drive on the street?

Thanks everyone for your comments so far.

So far the JWT guys are happy and no one else has much to say...

Why does no one have the Centerforce? Is it just because of the price or something else? I know MSRP is high (~$850-900) but I know places are selling them for like 25% less.

i have the JWT and it holds amazingly. Drivability is still similar to stock and the price is good for me.
Majority of people have gone with the JWT and are happy with the results so i wouldnt see why you would go any other way. Its kind of shady trying out a product without that much feedback from users. ie (centerforce)

Thanks everyone!
I will look into a JWT. Are there any secret places to get a great deal on one besides the usual sites? I will keep my eye out and maybe even try to start a group buy or something.

This is the cheapest I've seen, but its the clutch and flywheel combo. You can e-mail Andy (owner of HP Autoworks) at hpautoworks@***.net and ask him how much it would be just for the Clutch itself. Mention that you're Jaki's friend, and he'll give u a discount on the shipping . http://hpautoworks.chainreactionweb....d7a0ce29125dc0

Btw, another vote for the JWT clutch/flywheel combo.

To close this one out I ended up with the UR flywheel and JWT clutch (because centerforce could not make me one fast enough when my tranny was being replaced). I have been very happy with the kit. There is very little flywheel noise and it has plenty of clamping force for my Stillen Stage 4.
Thanks everyone who gave their experience.
