Why do you need dual friction? Are you planning to run nitrous, built heads, aftermarket cam, turbo, or blower? If not DF is a waste of money IMO.
Who do you think makes Centerforce clutches? If you guessed Luk your correct. If you feel you need something more then a standard Luk clutch I'd recommend Luk Gold. As mentioned they haven't failed me yet, on or offroad.

Appreciate the insight. I did not know they produced the centerforce. I'll take a look at the luk or luk gold. Never purchased a clutch before so newbie.

I looked at one of those Centerforce Dual Friction clutch disks when they first came out and thought they looked a bit weird having not a lot of contact surface. So, I got the Centerforce 2 about 10-15 years ago and have had no problems. I don't know who owns what and don't care, I hear Centerforce, Luk, and NAPA all have good stuff.
