    i was gonna say. unless he's pushing more than 6 lbs of boost the stock clutch should be FINE. (I've run 8lbs on a stock clutch with no issues)

    oh ok i just have header back ex. and intake on my 7th gen.

    i had a couple mechanics say that the little extra power i was pushing was to much for the clutch but it does have almost 130000 miles on it

    so what do you guy think i should go with cause the one i have is dead.

    they really aren't. But, if you want a better pedal feel, see if Competition clutch has a Stage 1 kit that will fit the car. It'll run ya around 300 bucks. Supposedly, it'll last longer than the stock Autozone mess will and some of the 2zz guys swear by it. That's mostly because the xrs got a poopy factory unit that burns up with the high rpm shifts, lol.

    I'd say your pads are just shot. a new stock clutch should be plenty with less than 10% over original horsepower (intake & exhaust)
