    right now I got a deal for a competition clutch. I just don't know what stage I should go for. right now my car puts around 300 WHP / Torque. I'm thinking of upgrading to 400-450 WHP in the future with an turbo upgrade. I got a deal from facebook for 50% off so I'm tempted to get something, just seeing what the pro's and cons are because I'm not really sure on what does what.

    Just remember, all the stress from that extra 'grab' that comes from upgraded clutches goes to the tranny. So read up on the torque specs for each clutch and match up your torque output to that. Unless you plan on upgrading soon, I'd match up the clutch to your current output because we all know what it's like to "plan to upgrade soon" :)

    That's right sir ACT does not need competition in their name cause they are a leader in the industry with proven results!

    Edit: I forgot to mention. There is a reason they are giving you 50% off :bounce:

    Well if your car is a push style I would avoid the ACT HDSS and HD as we have seen a couple of failures recently.

    That's why I'm asking about them right now, in general they look solid.
