I reckon it is hard to go past the exceedy kit. Some come with a spigot bush and and alignment tool. Very handy.
It is advisable to get you flywheel surfaced before you fit it all up otherwise you can get shudder and slippage.
i went with a heavy duty rpm clutch, well worth the money, just be careful with fly wheel cause if too much is taken off it you may need to get ur crank balanced as well.
One of me bro's had an RPM heavy duty clutch fitted in his VP 5.0L 5spd. Was only 12 months old when it exploded. He tried doing a burnout....and as he was intoxicated it took him a few seconds to realise it was clutch slip, so he put his foot on the clutch to stop it and BANG! He's pretty lucky to still be walking. Went thought the exhaust, through a fuel line, through the coil lead (and started a small fire), moved one of the chassis rails, and now has a cactus T5 and 304 lol. It did cop a hiding, but still shouldn't of slipped like that, especially as it was only 12 months old. Also heard a few bad things bout their 4x4 clutches.
