Clutch Question

[TowDawg]

I did a quick search and found some info, but mainly about the luk clutches on EBAY.
My car in the shop now getting an Arrow rebuild done and while the clutch isn't slipping at all, the car has 27,000 miles and I figured I can go ahead replace the clutch and save myself the trouble (and expense) later. Here are 3 different clutches I found on EBAY. Does anybody have any experience with the 2 non-luks? Recommendations of one other the others?

They are all the same price and just hoping someone has some experience with these.

I will be grabbing a set of Woodhouse Engine and Tranny mounts to throw in as well. Might as well get as much done for a little labor as possible while it's all apart. They already told me they'll change the mounts for free and it took them almost 5 weeks to get the motor shipped out, so I bet they end up doing the clutch for free as well. This dealership has been really good about making up for any shortcomings in service for me.

I've been using the ebay Luk kits for almost 4 years now. Nothing like OE for cheap - $195 + ship from allaboutclutches.

+1 Unless you are planning on going 700, 800+ hp the Luk OE is the best way to go.

If your searching for quality Centerforce is the only other clutch I would go with.

Moderate mods right now, but I am thinking about putting a 150-175 NX shot on it soon. It won't be used very often and the car MIGHT see the strip a couple of times a year or so. Hasn't been on the track yet, but I can see myself getting out there before too long. It's been a few years since I've had trips down the strip.

Luk all day long. No need to throw money out the window.

Im not a NOS guy but I am pretty sure a 150 shot wont put you near 800hp.

edit: chromoly flywheel or a light weight aluminum would be well worth the additional money you'll save by going with an OE Luk.

Yup just did a Fidanza with another Luk clutch and for street use a very nice setup. I would research the lighter flywheel for strip use before doing it. Gotta ask yourself if you want a street car you take to the strip, or a strip car you drive on the street.

Thanks guys. Looks like the luk clutch for me.
