If I want to go with a stage 2 or 3 clutch which one should I go with for a 97 gst. I have heard 3 are hard for daily drivers and that 1 are just like factory. Also wondered about which brands to look into? thanks

 

<FONT color=black>Stage 2 or 3 from which company, ACT or CF? I would recommend getting a CFDF if you want stock feel with good clamping force. An ACT2600 is kinda overkill if you have a stock car, so maybe an ACT2100 would be good. An ACT2600 would be good if you havea turbo upgrade. The stock clutchs can actually last a really long time. I've tried to kill mine for a long time so could upgrade(I now have an Exedy Street), but my stocker just wouldn't die! I broke all three motor mounts doing burnouts and launching all crazy like, before the clutch started even started slipping! Strong stuff, but if you're doing over 275whp, then a stronger clutch would be better. An act2100 should be fine if you wanna keep it under 400whp. The CFDF gets a bad rep because people think it's equivalent to a 2600 and treat it like a 2600, when it's more equal to 2100. My exedy is great IMO, but kind expensive. I'll keep going back to exedy, but it's just my personal preference<IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0"></FONT>
