Default clutch recomendations ?

My stock clutch is slipping and need replacement. I want to get a milder performance clutch that would hold up for a low hp forced induction setup in the future.

Are there any writups available for the clutch swap? I'm mechanicly inclined but I have primarly worked on fwd cars and no nothing about the sc300.

Search for how to change the clutch. I know I wrote a writeup and a few other guys have too. If youre used to FWD, then the SC will be a breeze compared to that

I'm guessing you got the street disc? Is it a big step up from a stock clutch or does it feel similar? I got the act 6 puck in my DSM and it is brutal,egagement is like being rearended.

Street disc is mildly stiffer than stock, not really huge difference.
Yes, 6 puck is brutal.
Try www.mvpmotorsports.com they sell RPS clutch kits and i think i saw couple in classifieds section.
I have a brand new in box ACT heavy duty/street disc clutch kit. $220 plus shipping.

that's a good price. have you installed/broken it in yet? I might be in the market for a new one if you can give a good review....I HATE MY ACT 6 PUCK,

6 puck!? geeeeeeez, unless you have to, I wouldn't recommend it. yeah, i have the street setup. it's about 33% stiffer than stock, but i've really gotten used to it. i don't even notice it being stiffer anymore.
