    Need help with buying a clutch!!

    So I'm in the middle of refreshing up my motor/transmission in my e30. Finally almost done with it all, when I forgot about one thing; my clutch. It's super rusted and doesn't look like it's going to last for much longer.
    I can't decide on what to get. If I'm already buying a clutch, I might as well just get something nice, right?
    So here are my three choices...

    1. Cheap, but heard a few decent things about it. $169 shipped.


    2. Can hold lots of power, heard many good things about it. $270 shipped.


    3. Anyone know any other places to look?

    I have a stock setup from F1 racing on my s52 swap. Holds strong. So far so good (although ive only put about 100 miles on her since install because she is not street legal yet) but they have been a "spirited" 100 miles. ;-)

              hp is not the question... torque is.

              How do you plan to drive the car? sliding the car and 6k drops? daily? need a little more info.

              If you're just refreshing the car to OEM nothing wrong with an OEM replacement.

                clutch masters are nice. they are saches clutch pressure plates that have been modified and the workmanship is nice. i fitted an uprated one to an s52(euro) with shrick 288 cam and lighten flywheel.
