OEM SVT LUK clutches are good clutches and I know I can get a whole clutch kit from LUK for about $250 or less. They come with clutch disc, pressure plate, slave cylinder and the alignment tool. With the proper break in, they have proven themselves time and time again on a TON of SVT Contours up to 100K and beyond! That says a lot!
Greg, when you're right (which is 99.9% of the time
) you're right! The Spec stage I clutch is more than enough for
most out there (2.5L AND 3L's), and that steel backed organic lining is really good IMO.
People need to start to avoid going overboard with the clutch they put in their car. Why get a clutch that's made to handle gobs more power than your car will ever see, get all the harshness from the more extreme clutch and maybe even cause un-needed powertrain wear from the added wheel hop and vibrations you will see from it?
Do yourselves a favor (and your cars) and get the correct clutch for the correct application.
Going overboard on the clutch you put in your car is like what I see way too many people do in Utah. They buy these super duty Ford trucks and giant SUV's, slap 8"+ lifts on them, 38"+ tires, and eveything else you can think of for a grocery getter and they are never going to see any off-road in it's life. Iguess some people like to go overboard and get something that COULD handle more, but never will.
