Clutch slips horribly, need a new clutch, need some advice please

So, my clutch is reaching the end of it's lifespan. I'm looking for an OEM replacement to a stage I setup, so I need some suggestions about what I should get and where to find them. Luk, Exedy, any thoughts please? And anyone avr an idea of the cost to install it? I'm in the DFW Texas area.

Thanks so much for your help!

I would say just get the luk oem replacement. Anything else will be way more money and need modification to fit and function properly.

You can get a cm clutch but they will most likely wear faster. You also need to either use a longer rod for the slave cylinder or shim the clutch fork.

SPEC offers a clutch but no flywheel. Don't know of anyone with one on a cl. Their old cl clutch had just a repainted stock pp, talk about fail. Not sure what the sell now.

XLR8 developed a clutch but it has not been tested. Noone wants to be the guinee pig.
