i have a 98 gsx and i am looking at a gripforce F1 racing stage 3 clutch i have never heard of it i was wondering if you guys have, and if its any good. i just bought a findaza 8 lb flywheel and i wanted to get a nice clutch for it and it is a 6 point clutch disk, it looks ok but i just wanted to get another persons advice on it first. I will also be looking for a place to take it to have it installed somewhere where they know what they are doing and around peoria area and reasonable on price. I know i think i am asking for a bit much but i need all the help i can get. thanks in advance

What other mods do you have? Unless you are running some serious hp, I doubt you need a 6-puck clutch. I'd stick with an ACT2100 or 2600 depending on your mod level and goals. The ACT's have such a good reputation in the DSM world that it's hard to beat them.
SloPony is the first place that comes to mind for an install, or if you are willing to wait until mid/late January I might have time to do one also. -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....

I've got an ACT2600 with a street disk in my car currently. Not much more pedal pressure than stock and it performs beautifully. Although, with all the good things I hear about Spec Clutches, I'm thinking of going to one when I'm making enough horsepower to overcome the ACT. Both good choices IMO.

I've got the ACT 2600 also.
Little stiffer pedal pressure but after a week you don't notice it at all. My wife doesn't even complain about it. It has about 35 5K strip launches on it, and no complaints. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

The specs and act's are well known for being good in the dsm community... While I do agree with Rob about the 6 puck for most people.. I've had the pleasure of driving a car with one (a girl who has it in her dd)... and I personally had no problem with it and wouldn't mind it in one of my cars. But, it''s not for everyone.
-------------------- game over.
