Clutch Question - I know beating a dead horse

So I've done some searching but it seems most of the links are no longer valid addresses.

Im looking for a clutch thats mostly for street use with some track and occasional NE dragway use and maybe autocross. My clutch is on its last leg from my girlfriend taking it out and learning how to drive stick. I expected she was going to kill it but now i need to order one that can handle a little abuse.

Sorry if it is a repost all im looking for is a good link or if there are any open group buys. Or a vendor with a great deal.

Get Exedy Stage 1, it can take a bit more abused than Stock level, increase a tiny bit of Clamping force WHILE keeping the stock clutch pedal feel.

if you want something more durable it will be something made from Kelvar, which will cost more and will make it harder to drive (heavy pedal)

I suggest Certerforce. I've used them it the past with other cars and have been very happy.

The pressure plate springs have centrifugal weights that force it to clamp harder with higher rpms. Good for high rpm engines.

The bummer about Centerforce is that their kits are pressure plate/disc only, so one needs to make sure to also order the pilot bearing, pilot bearing seal, and release bearing.

+1 on this I bought the Exedy stage 1. Exedy also make the stock clutch so you know you are getting good quality. I spent about $300 delivered then installed it myself.

Any good vendors? Since my GF is learning to drive i need more of a stock clutch feel that can take the abuse. Shes not bad but still makes little reving mistakes. All the greddy stage 1's i see are over $400. I found one thats $378
