clutch options, what kits are available for a big 4 car Options

Well, got some bad news that its about time to replace my clutch after all these years...had been going good for the last 10 years and than when I checked my car into the bodyshop for some insurance paint and bodywork it came home with a poorly functioning clutch and now looks to need replacement. It will work for a little more but is slipping...I was quite angry with the bodyshop as this has happened and am still discussing this problem with the owner...

I searched around for some clutch kits here in Japan and could not find much and know places like AA and Automotion sell them but wanted to ask what others are running or may recommend.

My car is a 72 4 cylinder model with a 2.2L big bore kit, performance cam, big valve heads, 40mm duel dellortos and puts out around 140 HP...I was using a stock clutch with I believe a 6 spring 911S disc but can't remember cause it has been so many years.

Looking at some kind of performance clutch kit that will last a long time and not break the bank. Any suggestions, ideas or recommendations?

Thank you

Sounds like I should be fine with that 6 spring Sachs kit, thats a good price on the ebay link (thanks Toolguy)

My motor is putting out around 140HP or so, so I guess the stock clutch should be fine...I remember hearing about 914 guys using early 911S clutch kits or perhaps it was just the pressure plate.

Don't have a lot of money to blow on this as I just bought a bunch of suspension upgrades. Just curious what others are running and if they had any recommendations or good shops they could let us know.

Right now, I am in discussion with the owner of the bodyshop, they don't want to help me one bit and are refusing to do anymore even though they made a huge fortune on the bill from the insurance claim. I offered to pay half of the clutch job...they are responsible for this.
