What is a good aftermarket clutch to buy?

[jish17]

I have a fairly stock 1990 7mgte has approx 330hp and the clutch needs replacing soon. I want to know a good clutch to buy that is not very expensive but is mildly better than just replacing it with a stock one.

any suggestions?
thanks

Exeddy do a great range of clutches. they do a standard replacement as well as a "heavy duty" standard type with about 30% better grip than normal whilst retaining drive-ability . after that u move up to cushion button and brass button clutches. they are harder to use and probably don't last as long but have much better gripping. My 7m has over 400whp and i use a cushion button with no problems but i don't do any hard launches that would cause it to slip and wear. When i first got the car it had a brass button from the same company that was very very difficult to use but offers excellent bite. also a brass button type clutch can be stressful for ur drive train as it constantly "shocks" the components. then u move onto twin plate etc but its probably out of ur price rage and unnecessary at this stage.
For my cushion button clutch i think i paid around 900-1000aud... i dont know what that is in Canada moneys im pretty sure the heavy duty would cost a lot less.
If u drive quite calmly and are nice to ur clutch go the heavy duty. otherwise maybe fork out for the cushion button. Twin plates supposedly have excellent grip whilst maintaining drive ability and service life. I have no experience with them but want one for my next clutch.

thanks i looked up the heavy duty and i think it might be somewhere in the right direction. How about the heavy duty ACT clutch

no clue ive only ever bought or used exeddy and had no dramas. as long as its a reputable brand im assume it will be much the same

It's overkill for you, but I really like my SPEC stage 3+. It's a full-faced, sprung hub clutch that holds a whole lot of torque, but feels really nice. It is harder than stock and chatters a little bit, but it's totally worth it for me and way nicer than the multi-puck setups (personally). my .02

It will also allow for bigger power if you end up going that way eventually...

Suprasport has a great selection. I"m a fan of the southbend series and am currently running the track series.

There's a reason they're not a vendor on the forums...

Since your in Canada,....BULLY Clutches.

Stage2 or 3 would be fine.
