Stock Z Needs Clutch - Stock Clutch Assy OK?
Been lurking here for a few weeks since I bought an 04 Z with 56k Miles. Fun damn car!! and a great resource this place is!!
I did a search on the forum about my issue but noticed that most clutch discussions were with Z's pushin' significantly more HP that my stocker (450+ wow!).
I need a new clutch for my stock '04 Z. Is it OK just to replace it with stock OEM parts or would life be that much better with a JWT or ACT assembly?
Also - can any old shop (with a good reputation) do the work or does it have to go to a Z specialist for a clutch R&R?
The dealer wants $2,200 parts and labor so it won't be going in there!
TIA for all your input!!!

I don't want to put in a clutch that:
1) Is overkill (since my engine will not get more than a perf chip and intake/exhaust mods)
2) Reduces general street driveability, or
3) Reduces clutch life.
But I do want a good set up b/c I like to drive hard sometimes.
Nismo
RPS Sport Street Clutch
JWT
ACT
Hmmmmmm .... I'll figure it out ...

my car has 30K and i need a new clutch too. The dealer is charging the same (2200). My clutch kept getting stuck half way down. i heard the jwt clutch is just a modified stock clutch. but the jwt flywheel is great. i'm thinking of either the jwt flywheel with nismo clutch or nismo everything.
