Default Help me pick a clutch

The car is all apart and it's not on a mega rush to get put back together, but I don't want to have to take a month.

Right now I have a budget of like $300-$500 ish.

I would LOVE to get a monster because I've read NOTHING but good review/recomendations about them. Unfortunately they're a bit out of my price range.


The car is relatively stock, Lid Full exhaust, full suspension, 4.10s and once this is done a set of radials. My driving style is typically quite tame, but I'm willing to mash it if the mood hits.

So far I have looked at Spec, monster, LS7, Ram, McLeod, and I read somewhere that the Clutches available at Autozone or the like are LS6?

Anybody have input as to whats best?

I put a Monster stage 3 in mine, great clutch! And Steve is great to work with! I know you said they are out of your price range but, if you could swing it,I think it would be worth it.(I dont know about the Autozone clutches?) Hope this helps good luck....One more thing buy the remote speed bleeder from Tick its worth every penny!!!!!!!!!

I know it's only a $50 difference between the stage 2 and 3, but honestly would it be bad if I just did the stage 2?

The description seemed like it suits me, however the whole "track seldom a year" thing kinda concerned me..

Save your money and get a centerforce dual friction clutch. It lasted me 30,000 miles.
