ACT 2100/2600 problems, whats the deal?

[peanotation]

I'll be swapping a 5spd into my car in late December, and it's time I get a clutch/flywheel together. All I've been reading about is 2100/2600 failures, and on VendorsReviewed there's a hefty list of people with failed 2100/2600 clutches. The last thing I want to deal with is replacing my clutch all the time. What's the deal with the ACT clutch failure, and is Centerforce any more reliable? thanks in ahead
