clutch upgrade TC

looking to upgrade my clutch since i got it tuned it seems to be something i need to do soon. when hitting 4th it slips abit not that bad (pre abused car). so what do i need to save up for (like flywheel, clutch rod, throwout brearing)? looking into ZZP parts since they are a Michigan bussiness.

I have a stage 3 coming. Spec reccomended it for road course and autoX. The 2 and 3 series use the same pressure plate so your driving usage and power level is what you need to go on.

Running there 8 puck. 375 gets u the friction disc, pressure plate, tob and unsuure about flywheel. But they warrantie there parts as well and they make there clutches so u don't have to worry about third parties.

Puck clutches aren't made for a daily driver, yes, I guess you could call them blades like a fan.

A solid disc or semi puck like the SPEC Stage 2+ is easier to take off smooth with. A puck clutch is meant to grab fast and be released fast.

Only complaint I have on my 2+ is it cries a bit when cold. Can't really call it chatter, kinda like brake squeal a bit. Never slips on me though, rated at 437 ft/lbs tq.
