All the Kennedy stuff works great. If you're running a 2.0 they have aggressive clutch setups that are cost competitive and, as I said, work.

In fact I think I have an extra performance pressure place and clutch (Kennedy) in the garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I totally agree with the Kennedy recommendation but just wanted to throw out another option from Patrick Motorsports

I realize it is not the feramic style you are looking for but it is quite grippy from what I have heard.

I've had one of Kennedy's 6 puck solid centered clutches in my car for years. It was inexpensive and it works perfectly.

I'm all for Kennedy stuff (have a PP from them). In my car I'm running a stock (or close to) clutch with the spring center removed.

Bigger clutch on a 2.0L really???

Oh come on. I am running a Sachs performance disk with stock PP in my 2316 and this is 100 + autocross runs, two track days, and 5,000 street miles . Not a hint of slip.

I had a sachs clutch in my hopped up 2.0L survived 800 autocross runs 3 track days and 40,000 miles. Clutch looked great.
