if your car is stock why go with such aggresive clutch. klevar and ceramic clutches are for high hp engine. so for stock you just need a stock or street/strip clutch. thats my opinion

N/A = Stock clutch. You don't need anything more unless you're running some big numbers for an N/A engine (which, if you're asking, you're not).

Yea... unless you've got something off the walls, you don't need anything fancy.

If you do want a beefier clutch, I put the Racing Beat street/strip clutch & pressure plate in when I rebuilt the engine - it's still a full face organic, so it's easy to drive, but the pressure plate is stiffer than the stock one so it can hold more power. It does get a bit grabby when hot, though - if I had to regularly deal with stop and go traffic, I'd probably prefer the stock clutch.
