What model do you own?
How many miles are on it?
What are your driving habits like?
Is this your first manual car?
Have you looked at different brands?
Do you have plans for the car?

Answer the above questions and i can point you in the right direction.

So here's the full story I guess I should have put...

I got a stage 2 kit about a year ago and of course my stock clutch won't hold if I take it to the track. As far as my driving habbits I'm a normal driver (except for having to floor it cause of the occasional dick). I'm not planning on doing anything else for a while on my car. It's an 07 with just over 50k miles.

I would save money and get a replacement clutch like the exedy or gm clutch. No need for a upgraded one if your going to be on close to stock power. That way you can save the extra money or spend it on something eles.

Well the main problem I have is that as of now I can't take it to the track because my clutch won't hold. I would LOVE to be able to go to the track and not worry about ruining my clutch and getting my car towed all the way home. So I'm wanting something that will hold up with my stage 2 without having to buy a new clutch everytime it blows out. I don't really spend money on my car unless needed, so I'm not worried about saving money for another upgrade anytime soon. This is the upgrade I've been saving for if you catch my drift

Spec 2+ is what you are going to look into, or something of a similar nature. Smooth engagement a little stiffer pedal pressure but nothing insane. The grab that you are looking for to
