Default Best Value / Quality Single Plate clutch and cover?

What to replace my std LS6 clutch withh something more up to the job, single plate, that is lighter and smaller diameter.

Any ideas - heard Centreforce 11" is good?

Spec cluch is supposed to be good alltough if an issue should arrise their customer service isnt that good. Make sure you purchase your cluch through a reputable company and have them install it, for if there is a problem you can go back to that company. Please learn from my mistakes.

Crazy how some people love and others hate SPEC. I agree with NXZ, i've heard (admittedly 2nd hand but from many accounts from people's experiences on the boards) that if you're a do-it-yourselfer, SPEC may not give you the time of day.

However, have it done through a reputable installer, and if there is an issue, the shop deals with SPEC and generally always gets top notch response. East Side Performance talks about their amazing customer service all the time.

Second hand does not matter a damn to me - it is NEW so doe not matter! Bought from C5 owner in france for 1/3 of new price if I had imported from US!

Will be fitting in TVR myself - EASY job - apart from the whole engine and gbox have to come out (but wanna do a few other things at the same time).
