Default What clutch should I get if I happen to need one relativly soon?

Well I was thinking today that if my clutch was on its way out, what type/brand clutch should I go for? The pedal was very soft today and slowly returned to normal (not the same as the sticking pedal) it now engauges low, doesn't slip though. I am not familiar with clutches on LS1's, so I am relying on you guys to help me out here, I have heard a little of the LS7 clutch and thats about all. Well let me know what you think, also the car is not heavily modded, just LT's ORY, exhaust, lid, and possible small cam in the future, so I won't need to hold 700RWHP, more around 400 if I do go the cam route.

Sounds like you have more of a hydraulic problem than a clutch one IMO.
Check the fluid for the clutch reservoir & see if the master is leaking at the boot down by the pedal.
You would prolly improve it drastically by just bleeding it out. read the sticky's at the top of the forum.
