Default Which clutch?

Im sick of the sticking clutch pedal. Im thinking of just getting a new new clutch for my 04 Z. There are just so many options. M car has a vararam as of now and very soon to be long tubes and a tune. Its a street car that see some decent drag strip time, not a daily driver and when driven its some what aggressive. Any suggestions?

I thought the sticking clutch pedal was because of the master cylinder, not the clutch per se. At any rate, I want to hear what people think, because I am about to go through this as well.

I spoke with my tuner today and he said he will not install the SPEC... he has had them blow appart... but did say for a light modded Z that the LS7 clutch was a good deal.... When its time I may run that way..

i think the cartek clutch is a very good clutch and will also come with new ajustable slave and is good up to 700 rwhp and still very tame on the street plus it will get rid of the sticking pedal
