excedy is my best IMO,

What year and model of the motor is it, and is it single or dual mass flywheel?

I have a CI 4Terrain kit in mine. Can't fault it. You cant go wrong either way with the 4Terrian or the Tuff Clutch(think thats what its called) from Exedy.

yeahi thought that but ive rung nearly all the clucth places around my area (been chasing prices for 2 weeks now) and even some the other side all came in around the 2200 mark for the standard clutch fitted so going by that ive decided to get it done only found one place that fitted the ci 4terrain and they said why bother with it only about 10% better than the standard clutch and about 35% dearer actually all the places that i rang also said the safari tuff clutch wasnt worth the money either so going by that i figured the tuff clutch fitted for that price is better than a standard at the same price

Give ringwood auto or Sunbury brake & clutch a call - they seem to be the cheapest around for kits.

Are you going to do it your self or pay someone?
