Default LS7 clutch?

Ive finally broke down and going to by a new clutch for my 2000 SS. Ive heard everyone say go with the LS7 clutch...but where do you get one or order one from? And doesn anyone know anything about Centerforce clutches? I also saw one of them that looks pretty good?

Yep SDPC has the LS7 Clutch/PP/Flywheel kit for $399. Can't beat the bang for the buck on that one. Just make sure you replace the slave while you're in there, and if you've had a low pedal in the past, you may want to consider a spacer for your slave. I've had the LS7 for a while now... factory hydros (no drill mod), 1/8" spacer behind the slave, and it's been great. Not a single complaint, and I really like to bitch.

Is it me or did the price drop for the LS7 clutch drop dramatically since last November?

I heard it's a good idea to upgrade the master while your at it??? Is this true, if it's not then I'm going with a LS7 kit instead of the LS6 kit. I'm getting a new slave at the same time, just don't feel like ripping anymore apart stuff. My tranny is at Six Speed Inc right now and am doing clutch, poly motor/tranny mounts, refitting the exhaust, and rear bearings while the tranny is gone. Actually the real question should be with the stock master cylinder out of a 1999 TA, will it last and clamp like it should???

Mine lasted right up to about 120k miles. I wouldn't worry about changing it, it's easy enough to change later on if you have problems with it. If it's been working fine... don't bother until you NEED a new master. But don't run around with your clutch not fully disengaging either.
