Clutch

I Think my stock clutch is going out... i want something a bit more resiliant while still good for daily driving and a bit of hard driving from time to time... has to be cost effective (broke) and I'd prefer aftermarket... What do you all suggest?

I hope it's under warranty because aftermarket parts, ESPECIALLY RX-8 parts happen to cost money, and you're not going anywhere broke.

Lol... eh...not so much... its an 04... I bought an extended warranty when I bought it... but its getting re-financed soon, as in... original purchase wont count for much.

Bout how much you think I'm lookin at... (just a rough guess if you dont mind)?

I would have guessed a lot more than the links above. It depends on what is broken, replacing the whole clutch assembly would cost thousands, just the plate would be hundreds, but either way its not cheap.
