Default Clutch question

I've been contemplating a new clutch for my 2000 C5, and have been reading everybodies posts on clutches. I feel bad for some of you guys that have had your clutch equip fall apart. Anyways....I am considering the LS6/LS7 clutch for my car. What's the final verdict on them and what's your experiences???

Larry from Speed Inc (larry@speedinc.com) recently did the LS7 clutch in his 2002 Z06. Ask him, he likes it.

Depending on your power numbers I would suggest the Exedy single or twin disc. I am using the Exedy twin because I know I will be putting a more powerful engine in the car down the road. 473 rwhp 431 rwtq N/A isn't enough. Next motor, something thats got a BIT of boost LOL! I really like the Exedy, a litlle pricey but worth it.

Exedy/textralia/tilton are the three barns i'd recommend. They all have different combo's to fit your needs.

Do not use a spec clutch.

I would agree with V-Tech. But I am pushing you towards the Exedy if you got the money. You do get what you pay for, most of the time. JMO

Werd. Sometimes it hurts but, the price you pay is worth it, if thats the only way to get a quality part.
