clutch options for K24/18g?

I'm sending out my turbos for the K24/18g upgrade, along with a 5 bar FPR, wastegates, and EPL tune.

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

I have had great luck with the Clutchmaster stg 3(fiber tough). You might want to talk with Tony from EPL and see what he recommends.

my advice to you , is to get spend the money and get a good clutch , it will last alot longer and save you money and in the future if you want to upgrade in power you will still be good ,

I've been looking at some of the options on the vivid website, and here are some pretty good deals I've found:
Sachs stage 2: $1750
Clutchmasters stage 3: $1700
Spec stage 2+: $1000
Spec stage 3: $1338

Has anybody compared the clutchmasters to the Sachs, since the price is the same?

Any opinions on the Specs clutches? The prices are great on those.

Clutchmasters stage 3 Drives like OEM? Yeah right.

I don't think the Sachs stage 2 will hold.

My CM 3 feels just like a stock GT2 clutch. I stayed with the dualmass flywheel & I think that is what made the difference.
