I have a Centerforce stage 1, and it works GREAT as a DD (softer than most of my friends' stock clutches) and takes tons of abuse at the track too.
Still holding up well after 12,000 miles.

The centerforce dual friction is extremely easy to drive. I definately recommend it for N/A applications. However if you want to run boost with it, it will not hold. Speaking from personal experience.

I'm with this guy 100%. Had it in my car, *loved it*, but it didn't take too long with the NA-T setup to completely destroy it. If I were to ever have another NA 5-speed car that I wasn't going to turbo I'd use the Dual Friction.
