^ You dont want Ebay clutches especially if you have a 1jz and drifting! lol Read lots of reviews on them the F1's are crap and the XTD's or whatever are just stock PP painted red, just go with an ACT kit

the clutches are different.. pull style PP on the r154... push on the W58.... you wont be able to use the PP/clutch cover, but the disc should work.

i currently have a centerforce dual friction clutch and it slips when i get into higher gears. It won't hold up for what you're looking for. Im currently looking at a ACT xtreme HD pressure plate w/ street disc when the weather gets warmer. They have other disc options available that are more aggressive, but more than likely it will kill the tranny.

CF dual friction is garbage.

Im not going to sit here and try and promote our clutches that we make in house... but if you ARE going to consider a center force dual friction... PLEASE PM ME FIRST haha... those things are so weak.... 2 pics that speak the truth.





If I was not to buy my own clutch... I would choose ACT... at least those things are good.
