Message	My 90' TT is starting to slip in almost any gear, so I'm looking to replace the clutch. I'm looking for everyone's take on which would be the better clutch to go with. I use the car for daily driving during the summer, so I need some decent level of drive-ability, but I'm also going to get into autocross this year, so I want something that can take some abuse as well. Right now, I've got the standard TT bolt-on mods (JWT ECU, stainless exhaust (no cats), UD pulley, Apexi intake, etc). I'm looking at a few different clutches, but it's hard to tell which is preferred. Can you guys share some of your wisdom with me? What do you think of: 1) ACT Heavy Duty 2) Z1 Street 3) RPS Max Street My preference is between # 2 and # 3, along with a lightened flywheel. I know that will give it a little different feel than stock, but still drivable. My concern is reliability since I don't want to do this again for another 60-80k miles if I'm lucky. I'm not really considering the 4/6 puck discs. I think I'd be better off with a full disc, but I've been wrong before.. Any help is greatly appreciated!
