ACT is the most trusted brands among DSMers. You can find them at www.expremepsi.com www.slowboyracing.com www.buschorracing.com www.amsperformance.com or any others you know. Also if you are replacing the clutch you might as well replace the flywheel. For that i recomend Fidanza.

If you are going to run under 300hp then i say th ACT2100 is for you. If you plan on running over that then the ACT 2600 is for you.

Rememebr to take it easy on the clutch for 350 miles. That means no aggressive shifting, no downshifting, no harsh launches. In other words no street racing for about 350 miles.

Clutch Masters and Exedy also make some good clutches.

For a 4G63T eclipse ACT is the best.

I will say they are good clutches but they arnt the only company that makes a good clutch. Actualy with the ACT you could have a problem with the pressure plate because of how stiff they make it and they could break. Not saying they always do but it has happened.

Diamond Star Motors. Basically it was a colaboration of Mitsubishi and Crysler until 1993. So they called all the eclipses and talons that they made DSM's. The 2gs technically arnt DSM's but every still refers to them as that.
