You are also old and have little to no feeling in your legs.

If you think you may end up going for more power down the road. Go for the best and get the Tilton.

Ben will let you use his credit card. Ben has little to no feeling in his head,unless you drive a TT lambo,then he is your best buddy.

Didnt know that, might be a good idea to clarify a certain layout, because that is far from the norm. Though the CM3 is a great clutch.

Hey,For what its worth.........I put a CM stage 2 which is the same as a Vivids CM stage 3,as I was told by CM.. . I did not like it...Instant grab,hardly any modulation and solid engagement,no cush,,,,I know others swear by this set-up......I took it out after 500 miles or so and put a CM stage 1 in....Alot better to live with..If you do a search on clutches,I did a full review on this about a yr. ago....The stage1 does holds my K24/18g power...Its in the pressure plate mod which is the same for both....Just my input.....Good Luck

Follow up- it's been a few months. I went with the clutch masters stage 3 and I love it. VERY close to stock feel. A little early on the engagement, but otherwise this is a great clutch for a daily driver like mine.

It actually does! No joke. My 110 lb girlfriend even drives it with no problems at all.

I'm running the upgraded Sachs

clutch with k24/18g's with no problems. Keep in mind I'm running a 91 octane tune, so I'm in the 500WHP range. My installer (Vision Motorsports) has installed this setup on many cars, and was confident it would hold up to 700HP (crank). I could probably dig up the receipt and post part numbers if needed.

I don't run the 1/4, so no hard launches. So I can't say how well it would help up to abuse, maybe others can comment on that.

Similar feel to stock.

What is the most cost-effective clutch replacement option I should be looking at?

This will be for a daily driver with no track use or hard launches.

Thanks
