To make this short and simple. My stock clutch isn't holding the power my car is making. If I run 15lbs it will not slip hardly at all, but when I run 18lbs or more it will slip pretty bad in fourth and really really bad in fifth. I don't think anything is wrong with the clutch, I just think its time to upgrade.

So what I want to know is what are some decent clutch kits for decent prices? I have considered just going ACT but don't really want to spend 300+ for a kit since its just a daily driver with average mods. JET said something about Southbend being decent for the money. So are there any other FWD guys that have had decent luck with a certain clutch? Any good deals? Or should I just bite the bullet and go with a full ACT 2100 or 2600?

1990 Laser RS Turbo 150k compression just tested at 140-128-128-142. A little shitty but not as bad as we thought it was going to be. Doesn't smoke at all at idle or under boost.

Mods:

Ported 14B
2 Exh Mani
3" turbo back with 02 Eliminator downpipe
550 CC Injectors
SAFC I Blue Screen
Rewired Fuel Pump

Note: Tranny shift great and I doubt its a bad disk but I don't know for sure. And it doesn't slip at all in first, second, or third.
