Whats a good clutch for a h/c/i, maybe gassed car? I want one that grabs good, and will take a little stiffer pedal for it, but I don't want to have to stand on it to change gears. I'm going to hope the t5 holds up to the power, the car isn't a dd anymore, but it needs to be able to in the event my dad needs to drive my dd. I would rather the clutch give out then the tranny, but I know it's going to pop eventually. I was thinking about a stage 1 or 2 spec, my cousin has good luck with that clutch, but I'm not sure. Let me know what ya think.

I like my Centerforce Stage II clutch...

Doesn't grab as hard as the DF but handles my 300rwhp car with no problem.

Lightest pedal I have felt, softer than the King Cobra for sure.

Back when I had h/c/i and spray with a T5, I had a motorsport HD clutch. It held the power just fine. I put over 50k miles on that clutch with zero problems. It was still fine when I took it out, but it had to go b/c I switched to a 26 spline tremec tko.

King cobra or motorsport HD would be my choices.

Same as above takes everything I throw at it, and is a pleasure on the street.

Where did you guys buy the centerforce clutch at? I was looking mainly at spec or centerforce, but was going to consider other options.

Yep, summit here...

Many don't go with it because the price is more than the others mentioned.

King Cobra has a better pedal feel (softer) than the HD...just a FYI.

I'd pay more for a clutch I'd love rather than a decent one. Of course with my luck the tranny will go pop with the extra power thats gonna be thrown at it.
