My clutch handles 5, 7, and 9psi fine, but it's an ACT. The stock clutch would eventually just heat up and give out. The stock clutch sucks, you just don't realize it until you get an aftermarket one. My stock one only had 10,000 easy driven miles on it so it was fairly brand new when I switched. So I can effectively say that the stock clutch just sucks.
You can have my D17 when I swap. (When and if)

so what you guys think about 55 shots on the stock clutch bi-weekly for a night @ the strip...sometimes running 75 shot?
Any info on clutches for our cars,,, how much they cost...and ball-park install fee would be appreciated.

centerforce has a stage "Centerforce 2" and a "dual friction" the dual friction is said to keep the pedal near stock feel
