    Alright so i posted a few weeks ago about injectors and i found out that wasnt my problem so i met up with bullwinkle for a tune and discovered that i need a new clutch...:( He had recommended i go with a ACT and Exedy Clutches. Does anybody else have any aftermarket clutch they would recomend or know a site/place to get them at a decent price, and also if there are any good places to go to have it put in... Any help is appreciated.

    Hey man, be sure to include all relevant info on your car.

    If I remember correctly, it's an 05 WRX with a VF39.

    As you said it's a DD car, I'd recommend going with a basic ACT or Exedy stage 1 full disk clutch.

    Do NOT cheap out for F1 or any NEW clutch in the market.
    Go with something that WORKS and have been proven.

    I run ACT units and they work well.

    +1 ACT

    Had an ACT2600 way back when I had a DSM. It was a good for the DD, smooth engagement and good holding power.

    ^ cheap no names that have not been around much, or you don't hear people running them. ACT works, and has been a nice clutch company for years.

    exedy and ACT are both great clutches. Everyone that i know that runs an exedy loves them. ACT are great too for a daily driver go with a full face sprung.

    The only reason i don't like my act is that I want to far on the performance end and it a PTA to drive.
