ACT, Exedy, or Centerforce is what you should be looking at. Stage 2 ideally, but Stage 3 has greater holding power. Did you say this is for a turbo B18C??

never heard of such a thing... and I was into VWs for a little bit... haha high boost corrado lemme guess, rebuilt G-ladder with a 9 lbs pulley... that's hardly "high boost" civic_chick is right, CM is also a great brand.

that's more like it... VR6 turbo There are some riced out Corrados in town I guess I got used to seeing the G60s around too much.

This guy Paul in Ottawa had a 94 CL w/ VR6 swap + turbo... it was a really impressive (and scary fast too) car.

ACT is all we install when doing a kit, definately go stage three if you want the grip w/ the turbo sitting in there. We've never had a problem with any of their service. Sprung or unsprung is up to you depending on hte feel you want.

Bully isnt SFI are they?? so you cant legally run them in NHRA in the fast classes, or NCRA for that matter... unless they have gotten SFI'd since I looked ath tem.

JSK what happened to the CM? was it in a previous car or something, or did it just get worn out?

I had to replace it... but even when I took it out it looked like there was still atleast 3-6 months on it left.

I had it for over 2 years and through 2 swaps.

If I can I will put a new one in next year.
