Clutch opinions

So my clutch is on it's last leg. I've been doing some looking/pricing but figured I would get the opinions of people who really know.
I have 120k on the car, so I'm looking to spend as little as possible but not be cheap. Does that make any sense? lol

Any website or manufac. I should or should not look at? Looking for a clutch/flywheel package.

Thanks in advance.

I had a competition stage 2, and it grabbed hard. Super stiff, but I liked it that way.

Sam your still going to need a flywheel.

I would look into the excedy act combo. One of the vendors has it for 625 shipped. Your going to hear a little chatter, but its better then spending almost 1k on the flywheel alone.

Next on my list is the JWT clutch/flywheel combo.

If you want someone to do the install cheap i have access to a Nissan master tech who can do it for a couple hundred bucks.

^ i would take a look at the ACT. Too many stories of premature failures with the JWT.

^ Beebo's was one that I specifically remember. JWT wouldn't warranty it. I think he eventually went with exedy.

Dont forgot the flywheel bud. Ours cant be resurfaced. Im sure yours is pretty beat up after 120k.

I did the install in around 8 hrs its mostly unplugging.
