twin disc has almost no bad.. only the price LMAO... it allows for smoother/quicker/ engagements

i would only tell you from experience u can go with ACT/EXCEDY/COMP CLUTCH.. ive driven all 3 on a tc and the comp and act clutch have been the best

i would suggest NOT getting unsprung if you a newby... get a clutch thats sprung because as u learn to drive it will be alot easier to get going VS and unsprung.

money wise the twin disc is gonna hurt you more ... but just a reg style clutch is great to rag on.. even for a daily..

the money ur gonna be spending Twin disc u can put on the swap...

be ready dude lol... cuz ur gonna need clutch lines,clutch pedal system, new MC, salveC, MT tranny, FLYw, Clutch... i have the list at home of all the crap u need..

if u have money for it yea why not... once your there i would suggest having them look at the rear main seal while its open to check how the motor is doing.

i recomnd the 12 lb to help get you going and not have to rev super high to get going... but if not.. just resurface the stock and ur fine... its a nice upgrade but not too necessary.. that 350 bucks u can spend later on down the line..

oh also the driver side axle also ur gonna need. .the auto one is shorter

why dont you get a stock swap and get comfortable with driving stick that way u dont ruin a really expensive clutch...by the time your comfortable your knowledge on clutches will be expanded and you will be able to choose but for now just do a stock swap no turbo and drive your tc normally ...get the concept of driving stick

You dont even feel the difference in the clutch engagement.

Trust me dont even think about getting a sprung clutch... the springs messed up my disc as well as the flywheel plate- and they cant be resurfaced!
