Does anyone have this kit or know anything about it? I need a clutch, and I want a light flywheel, but I don't want to sell my soul or my gf to pay for it. This one seems to be decent, and has a little more holding power than the stock clutch, which is fine for me, being I am still not turbo. Being that this is rebuildable, when I add more power or go turbo, can I just get a better clutch with more holding power, or am I stuck with the kind that comes with this clutch? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i dont have that exact unit but i have a similer one.

factory flywheel....6puck sprung hub miba disc...reacts similer to kevlar i am told and the same pressure plate. I dont like the feel of the pressure plate,,,too easy to push in. easier than stock.

A guy i work with that has done a lot of research on clutches tells me the feeling has nothing to do with the clamping..its the way the company designs the plate. Mine grabs like crazy...i have not dumped it yet because i am still breaking it in but it doesnt slip much at all. I just dont care for the pressure plate feel i want a knee breaker like my superbee.

See if this kit will accept the 95 neon kit then you can buy a spec clutch for a neon down the road to upgrade with a cheaper price. honestly i think its kinda high, i know it has an aluminum flywheel but just buy a spec stage 2 or 3...everyone who has one seems to be happy with it.
