Default new clutch choices

need new clutch kit for my 2000 ws6, im just looking for a clutch that will be great for the street and better then the oem clutch, my car is not going over 400 bhp so i don't need a heavy system.. i see summit sales zoom clutchs that include pressure plate throw bearing, alingment tools etc for around $400, centreforce and others don't. is this a good package or what else would be better for minium $. what you guys think i should do?

The best option is ls7 clutch or luk gold as its the same as the factory stuff w/ a little better clutch material.

That is the exact kit I went with! I also bought a new Slave, Master cylinder, Pilot bearing, alignment tool, and ARP flywheel bolts. I put about 250 miles of easy driving on it then started to rip into it more. It grabs hard but drives like a stock clutch. I also had the drill mod done on the new master!

Well I have been interested in this also as I have not had good luck with my spec 3 set up lately. What about cars that are pushing over 400rwhp and will be in the 500 range with spray, what is a suggested set up there and sorry if I am hijacking.
