Stock one is good enough.
Unless you plan on getting a turbo, I dont think u need to upgrade...

yea, the oem one is not bad; but it seems abit expensive comparing to the same price product, it seems I could have some better choice, I don't know just asking, see if anyone tried anything good. :-D

You know you like the stock clutch and you know its capable of holding the amount of poewr you can make without turbo/supercahring or nitrous. If you are paying someone to install it, theres a few hundred bucks there. you dont want to spend all that money and hate the cltuch because lets face, you use it alot. even if stock is a little more expensive, its the best choice IMO. also, if you get an aftermarket clutch, definitly get your clutch pedal brakcet welded up. they are a ticking time bomb on a stock clutch, let alone something that needs more pedal pressure to work it. just my .02
