Ok heres all the "?" you need to answer...



Is it a stock clutch set up?



Do you want more grab?



How many miles is on this pressure plate?



Do you drive hard? or like a Sunday driver?



What year and specs is your car?



Do you have performance mods?



You have to think about all this...

If you have a stock set up..and you have mods or will do mods..Go and redo the whole clutch set...



Now how much power you think you are running?

I did mistake before and got a organic material "performance clutch"

I will never do that again...Go either Kevlar or bronzed..Unless you want a full race go with ceramic ..BUT these will put wear on your flywheel...and yes you should resurface your flywheel before putting on a new clutch..





I went with a ClutchMaster kit..BUT if I would of went with my first choice is would of been ACT clutches...



I hope this answered some of your questions..now you just need to figure on what kit to go with...



yes buy a kit...it comes with clutch disc..pressure plate..throw out bearing..and pilot bearing..
