Determine your goals, then search this site for information on each clutch and decide which one is for you.

Go with the 2600 since your AWD, and call it a day.

The 2900 should only be used on a track-only driven car.

Stay boostin

Come on man, give him a LITTLE direction. Heres a quick breakdown.

Addressing the pressure Plate: A heavier pressure plate will hold true under more torque.
The higher your torque goal is, the heavier pressure plate you will need. However, the heavier pressure plate you have, the harder it is to compress the pedal and disengage the clutch. (with a 2900lb pressure plate your left leg will look like a barrel after one summer) But ALL are streetable

Addressing the disc: A full disc that is sprung will give you the most comfortible "Launch" whether it be street driving or otherwise, but it will slip before a six puck. A six puck clutch is going to grab faster and be less likely to slip, but will be a little harsh on the engagement, (not bad though). Also, a six puck with copper will hold better as it heats up, unlike the disc. As for the unsprung clutch - Try at your own risk. Some will say they are safe, but I have seen too many trannys desroyed by them to recommend them to anyone.

Addressing the flywheel: This will depend on what your goal is. Because you are AWD, a heavier flywheel (stock) will carry you out of the hole better, but slow you down at the top end, and coming out of turns. An ultralight flywheel (8lbs) is great for road racing, but without a bottle, you may bog off the line. I think the general consenses is that an 11.5lb flywheel is about the lowest you can get them without bogging off the line (drag), but I'm sure there are plenty of other opinions out there.

Use this as a guide, NOT as gospel. If it helps you (or anybody) out, kick me a couple reputation points so I can get out of this damn unknown status

Good luck

I would go with this one:

Centerforce Dual-Friction, H-D Ball Bearing Pivot Clutch $ 395

For 89-99 Eclipse Turbo, AWD and FWD

This is the newer higher clamping load CF pressure plate (we tested it at 2500 lbs). CF is now using ball bearing pivots for the diaphragm for an easy pedal effort. The dual friction disc now has a larger friction surface. We recommend it highly for 13 second drag cars though we have run high 11's with it. While it is fine for going fast, it is perfectly streetable. Centerforce uses Marcel (wavy metal layer) between the layers of the clutch disc to make the engagement smoother.

If you are serious about drag racing and chasing a magic number, if you launch hard and often, get the ACT 2600. Excessive heat from repeated launches will kill the CFDF (and most other clutches). You will hear quite varied opinions about CFDF all over the internet. Some guys run fast with them forever, others have killed them in under 6 months. It is all up to you. If you make repeated launches and runs you will seriously shorten it's life. If you are disciplined enough to let things cool down between runs you will be fine. Just like overheating your brakes will give you no grip, the same thing happens with your clutch. Get it hot enough and you will turn the disc into kitty hair. The ACT 2600 has more clamp load, it won't slip as much and won't make as much heat. The Centerforce will slip a little more, but this can be safer. You choose your weak point...clutch or hard parts.

Price includes factory plastic sleeved throw out bearing to protect your transmission input shaft sleeve.

Lightened Stock Flywheel $135 Exchange

Flywheel is lightened from the factory weight of 19 lbs to 14-14.5 lbs and then re-surfaced for both ACT or CFDF clutches to a .609" step height. You must return your old flywheel within 2-3 weeks. All customers will be charged a $60 core charge that will be refunded when a usable flywheel is returned to us. Availability can be limited at times, plan ahead.

Scroll down to their "RRE's Clutch Chooser Assistant (0=Less, 3= More)"chart, that might help you decide too.

v8what - I gave you a rep point for good info!
