Its about time for a new clutch, and my question is, with the mods in my sig, would an oem stock clutch be worth getting (im on a pretty strict budget) or do i pretty much have to go for a dual friction or king cobra...also the car is daily driven and brought to the track about once a month...thanks

Get a king cobra, their cheap about $169. I'd recommend what I have for you, but your on a budget and its not really necessary at your power level.

the stage two spec is a little too harsh on t5's, imo, and is much more $ than what you're looking to spend. Don't waste your time with the oem clutch, another vote for the kc clutch

My first FMS HD clutch (same as the king cobra just with stiffer pedal feel) lasted through 4k rpm slick launches and 150 shot of spray for a long time. It still worked fine for regular driving, but would slip slightly when spraying and shifting to 3rd. I recently bought a king cobra to replace it off ebay with a new pilot and throw out bearing for right around 180 shipped. Search for "thunderbolt-motorsports" as the seller id.

Stage 2's are good clutches too, are a little grabbier (may beat on the T5)...but why pay the extra money when the king cobra is just as good.
