well, i've you've searched to boards.. at all... you'll find that the ACT 2100 and ACT 2600 are popular / recommended. You'll also find that the ACT 2100 is recommended for FWD cars (which yours is) and the ACT 2600 is recommended for AWD cars.

You'll also find that the ACT 2100 has almost the same pedal effort as the stock clutch - so it works better, but isn't harder on your foot. If you go to a 2600, as you'll find, the pedal pressure increases, but you get used to it pretty quick.

In your case, i'd recommend the 2100. You don't have AWD and you're not planning some really heavy modification.

Plus, you have a 7 bolt motor. A clutch with little pedal effort will put less stress on your thrust bearing, which will help crankwalk.
