Clutch upgrade - suggestions
Well looks like we solved the take off shudder problem - the flywheel is hot spotted and the clutch is looking like it won't make it to far either.
Time for upgrade:
86 coupe with 355 HP ZZ4 and keisler engineering T500.
Car is used around town 3 or 4 days a week - and also does AutoX, Road course racing, and will be doing Silverstate stuff.
I'm assuming I need an upgrade - but probably not to a full race bred setup. I want thisd thing to stay easily driveable around town.
Any help here? I'm going to replace the clutch, pressure plate and flywheel (can I stay with the original clutch cylinder and hyraulics?)
I'm specifically interested in Brands and or vendors that are good to work with and fast on delivery!

Centerforce Dual Friction, McLeod Street Twin, to name a couple good brands.
Will your bellhousing accept a 168 tooth flywheel? if so, you should run an 11" clutch. They are just that much better. (and oddly, often cheaper)
