Wish ours were that cheap
Lol, our's aren't too bad. We are putting a Tilton 3 disc clutch in Stephen's twin to the tune of 6500 bucks.

Lemming:

Not sure the makers, (I know there are several out there) but when I discussed the possibility of lighter clutch assemblies, with two reputable shops in San Diego who also build 944Spec racers, the response was the same: go Sachs OEM with spring-centered plate. That's what I did, and I'm happy and content with the results.

Bear in mind, a stock car weighs 500 to 600 Lbs. more than a spec car, and is most likely driven on a regular basis, and in traffic. A heavy car, driven regularly, and possibly in heavy traffic, with lots of first gear clutch work, might wear out a performance clutch assembly a lot faster than a 2600-lb. race-prepped car (with driver and no passenger) that sees only track days and virtually no stop and go traffic. So, for the average standard-weight car used in traffic - stop and go traffic - I think the stock OEM assmebly is more appropriate, and will last longer.

But: it's your $900.00 - $1200.00 in labor to do a clutch job. Spend it often, or not so often. Afterall ... it's your money. ;-)

Again, my Dos Pesos.

If you have it in a street car, which clutch, Stage II???? I'll be replacing the clutch in my 968 daily driver and don't want to drop the Stage III in it but am considering the II.
