It all depends on the power you are pushing and how stiff you want it to be. ACT and Cnterforce both have a pretty soft pedal feel, but really hold the power well. The Bonez has a stiffer pedal feel and hold the power just as good. I guess really it all comes down to how much you want to pay.

ACT or clutchmasters are both reliable and good... I think ACT's are a better deal but Clutchmasters offers more disc options.

Seen how we are one the subject my new clutch is making a strange noise. It sounds like a slight grinding noise. It's like someone rubbing two pieces of sandpaper together and when you push on the clutch pedal you can hear the noise slowdown. Also if you put in gear it goes away. Is this normal? It's still in its breakin period(300 miles on it). Does it need adjustment? If so how would I do that? Please teel me its okay. I don't want to have to take out the tranny again.
