If you owned an SVT and used it for daily spirited but not abusive driving, which clutch would you install for your own use?

I don't need one yet, but I'm just thinking ahead.

Interested in this answer as well. At 103k miles (not as many as Big Jim), I know I have a finite amount of life left in the clutch.

I think the OEM clutch is great. I have over 123k of hard driving on her and she's great. Knock on wood.

The same question for Zetec.

Does it worth getting anything more expensive than a stock ? Seems to be pretty good.

Thanks,
