Aftermarket clutch opinions..., Clutch gone, looking for a good one. Options

[Delta_Phoenix]

I've had my Celi about 4 years, and put an entire new clutch kit in it about 2 weeks after I got it.

Now, it's gone again. Well, actually quite the opposite. The clutch is "stuck" engaged.

So, just wanted to get some opinions from anyone that has an aftermarket clutch kit. Centerforce, Exedy, Clutchmasters, etc...

Did you receive a complete kit with the clutch and pressure plates and throwout bearing? Seems irrelevant to buy a performance clutch while still using a factory spec throwout. That's what went out when I had a kit put in the first time. Not looking for any hardcore performance, just a stage 1 kit.

Well, the 'Street Disc' is made for smoother and faster shifting. It is a little bit better than OEM clutch. But if you want more grab, go after 4 or 6 puck clutch with Xtreme Pressure Plate and not Heavy Duty Pressure Plate. But the Street Disc lasts longer than the 4/6 pucks.

I dunno, I've heard some bad things about the puck disks on stock engines. They're designed for racing apps not really daily driving. Driving them on the street could potentially destroy some stuff. I don't remember who it was but didn't someone here ruin something with a stage 2 installed on stock?
