[s-cars] Clutch Replacement

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

Chuck,
If I were you, I'd simply buy a Centeforce clutch.  This was available from Summit Racing for about $350.  It is an OE Luk clutch and pressure plate that is lightly modified... for additional spring pressure, and using different friction material.
 
It acts and feels exactly like a stock unit, but has the additional grab if you want/need it.  Pedal effort remains virtually identical.
 
To me, there's no downside to the Centerforce unit.  The cost is very competitive, and the performance is superior.

Hey guys,

My car has reached 147k miles and it is time to replace the clutch.  I do
most of the work on my car myself but when it comes time for somebody else
to touch her I wont give her to just anyone, so I will be heading to
northern European automotive in NH tomorrow morning for the replacement.
The previous owner had work done there and from what I understand they are
good guys and they know their way around an s-car.  

My question is they told me a stock clutch would be the best solution as my
car is only lightly modified (MTM 1+, stromung, samcos, suspension.) and
that the clutch will cost around $600 with about $600 in labor.  Does this
sound right?  Seems a little high for the clutch to be $600, blauparts and
autohausaz have some saches ones for around $350 but I'm not sure if they
are OEM, are they?  Is there a cheaper way to source a stock clutch?

Thanks,

Chuck
