Default Where to buy a LS7 clutch?

Hey my clutch is gone in my 98 Trans Am, I want to have a street and sometimes even a strip clutch to have a little bit of fun and still be reliable with. I dont plan on building the car anytime soon so I think a LS7 clutch would be the best bet. What flywheel to go with? I need to buy everything at one, clutch,flywheel,throw out bearin,alignment tool, etc. So where would be the best place to get this at? and cheapest? Thanks guys

I've got the Centerforce setup on eBay, if you decide to go with that.

I'd personally choose the Textralia 0Z700 with a steel flywheel. I don't have one yet, but reviews show that everyone who has it likes it, it has a stock feel, and it has a decent longevity.

I've bought stuff from SDPC numerous times and their customer service is top notch. A great company to deal with

The LS7 will hold better than the LS6. I had an LS6 in mine after the H/C swap and it took a **** after 300 miles

to revive the thread, if you buy the LS7 kit, is anything else needed for the install as asked, alignment tool, throw out bearing?

You will need an alignment tool and it is a good idea to replace the throw out bearing while you are in there. Also, a new flywheel bolt kit wouldn't hurt. Also a good time to flush your hydraulics out and get some new fluid in there.

Ok I ordered my LS7 clutch kit today from SDPC, the 399 isnt on sale anymore, it was 438 or something like that, and they threw in a throw out bearing, blot kit, and the pilot bearing. They threw in all the parts for free and just charged me the clutch + tax. It was like 460 something shipped. Hope it works good!
