Default Need Help deciding on new Clutch

My clutch is dead. I got words from the dealer and they quoted me almost $2200 to replace the clutch and the disc, flywheel, pilot bushing and release bearing.

I looked up some parts online and the total price for the OEM parts is roughly $1150.

I can get nismo parts or JWT parts for much cheaper than that.
I did some research and some people liked the JWT combo better.

What would you guys recommend ??? The car is driven around town 70% of the time and the rest on highway.

Thanks guys

JWT flywheel and clutch will cost you about $730 +/-. Labor you can find anywhere from $500-$1000, depending on the shop. IMO the Nismo clutch is not that much better than stock.

There's alot of good clutches out there. First what are your future goals so far as power in the long run? This way you wont waste your money. I would recommend Clutch Masters with a JWT flywheel. What stage is going to be up to you. Contact Sharif or Sandy at Forged Performance. They'll hook up. Just click on my link in my signature.

Also see you live in Atlanta. Check out the GA moutain run in the south east region forum. We run every last Sunday of the month, great fun.
