Cool Clutch Kit? Best bang for buck?

Recently smoked the clutch after a hard launch, now I get some slip in the upper rpms. Looking at all the reviews and feedback on google can make clutch shopping a little scary! Was wondering what some of you guys run and how you like 'em. I myself am leaning toward an ACT or Sachs.

Any info is appreciated!

I bought a clutch kit from fourseasonstuning.com. I used a single mass flywheel and a clutchnet clutch. The grip is amazing, but there is some chatter. I elminated this chatter by increasing the Idle RPM to 960

goodluck

I don't know if DxD Southbend Clutch makes a clutch for this car, but I had their "Stage 3 OFE" clutch on my STi (modified OEM Exedy unit with their proprietary surface material), and I've never had such a wonderful clutch. I was actually turned on to it by my Porsche/Audi tech friends who say that they use it on everything they can (especially high-hp Porsches).

It felt like a stock clutch until you dumped it, at which point there was no drama, just AWD launching goodness with absolutely no clutch smell. Supposed to be rated to 800fwhp, but I never got to confirm that, haha...

Thanks for the input! I installed my Valeo clutch last weekend actually. No turbo was driving me MAD!! lol
All in all I say it has a good solid feel to it, we'll see how it holds up. Thanks.
