Check my sig for my engine stuff. I guess I drive harder than I thought I do

. The stock clutch is on it's way out fo sheezey. So what do you think, will the VR6 disc, throw-out bearing, pressure plate + G60 flywheel be a good choice? Thanks for your time!

why no guys? What do you all suggest? I will not adding any more than maybe an exhaust and downpipe. So probably like 190whp.

I think it would work fine. I would also look at the sport clutch from autotech and also call AWE tuning...they have a kit for less than $500 that's supposed to be good.
I've got 30K miles on my car, and as you can see from my mods, I'm probably over 200 wheel hp and still on the stock clutch. I figure it's only a matter of time now...

I have a Nuespeed Sport VR6 clutch and a 1990 G60 Flywheel with some mods and it grabs so hard with the ASR off its hard to try not to spin the wheels. Just my 2C.

You will find that if you went over to the VR6 forums and talked to some of the regulars that after testing lots of clutches they find that the stock clutch works teh best. I have been in cars with many different clutches and feel that the stock clutch has the best feel for everyday driving and holds up just fine. The longest lasting cluth I have in my car is a stock VR6 clutch 16K, first two stock ones were 11K and 5K.
I say stick wiht a stock VR6 pressure plate and disc wiht a lightened G60 flywheel or the autotech flywheel.
