Well it all depends on your power goals. If you will be between 310 and 340hp, I think the stock cluch is fine. Otherwise go with clutchmaster, I think it is one of the cheapest, and for that power i think it is more than enough

I have the Kentucky Clutch kevlar ceramic clutch. The clutch is driveable without having to gun it at every stop light. Moving in and out of parking spaces is a breeze. It does engage a little bit harder than the stock clutch with just a hint of chatter. The pedal feel is like stock, if not a little lighter IMO. I would recommend it, the price can't be beat.

I don't know about ky clutch, but if it is affordable and better than stock, then for a 310-340hp engine for sure is fine

Spec 2+ is plenty for most of these cars with basic power upgrades. I had one in my LSJ. It was fun to drive, and the clutch feel was very much like stock. I also only used the stock resurfaced flywheel, which saved me a good bit of cash if you wanna look into that.

Reusing the stock bolts is fine.

Change your TOB or you'll get chatter down the road.

LNF flywheel bolts are torque to yield. With all the trouble to get at them, I'd replace them and the slave cyl (tob) while in there. My FW bolts were reused before I knew they were tty, and have been fine for over a year now.

Something you have to watch is some of the companies are sending the lsj tob and not the lnf. They are the same in looks and size. I didnt know this and used the lsj one on my tc and it started to leak and after just 8000 miles it was f'ed up. Only reason I found this was I was doing my engine build and noticed the bearing was crazy loose on it. I do have a brand new lnf throw out if anyone needs one. 70.00.

You'll be happy with the clutch. I had to get this, my stocker wasn't holding.

And I do not recommend reusing the flywheel bolts. They are not meant to be used again so dont do it. They are only 40 bucks.

yeah at first KY was sending us the LSJ's but they quickly fixed that and resent the LNF one.
