I am I need of a new clutch and I have read tons of threads on here and I think the more I read, the more confused I think I am. It seems one person really likes a certain clutch and another hates it.
I have an 01 Camaro SS with 90k and it is basically stock. I am not intending to drag it, it's just a street car. I don't have a lot of funds to sink on the clutch at this time, but also don't want to buy a clutch I will be replacing in a year,
With all that being said, can anyone recommend a really good street clutch that will not break the bank. I would really like to get a kit (flywheel, slave, and all) if possible an try to keep it around $500. This may not be possible but would appreciate what ever help you offer.
I saw this used one on Ebay for $400 but I couldn't find any Specs for it.

for your car you do not want the SPEC 4+. That is a aggressive clutch.

A stock replacement type would be better for your modifications.

LS7 clutch kit sounds like it is perfect for you.

Thanks for the input guys. Where's the best cheapest place to pick up the LS7 kit?

I got a RhinoPac LS7 clutch kit from Rock Auto for $371.81 shipped. You can usually find a discount code on Google that cuts it down a bit.

I was thinking the same thing....LS7.

No plans to mod the engine for more power later? I would try and get an awesome clutch now. Its such a pain to swap it out if you ever change your goal.

I may do some bolt on mods, but no plans of anything else. If I decided to go with the LS7, aren't there some tricks to getting it right? Seems like I read about some issues on here if you didn't use the correct hydraulic setup. Is that correct?

badazz81z28, I would like to get a great Stage 2 clutch in my price range. I was looking at the Diamond clutches but they are a little out of my price range right now for the complete kit. I am looking at Competition as well but not sure what it would cost to get the complete kit.

Ls7 clutch should be enough for your plans.

I wouldn't suggest a Stage 4 kit for street use. That being said we offer 7 different single-disc options for this application. For a basic, effectively stock car, a Stage 1 would be a great option and it will provide more capacity than the stock unit or the LS7 unit. This is part number SC091. Give me a call if you have questions and I will be happy to assist you further. Thanks!

Thanks for all the help with this. Hopefully I'll be on my way to get this done soon.

Thanks for all the help from Jeremy and everyone else. I ended up getting the Monster Stage 2. It was hard to pass up the sale that went through August. Only thing left to do is get a master cylinder and want a good one just cant afford a Tick. If anyone else knows the best one for a reasonable price, I'd appreciate it.
