Best and cheapest are just about polar opposites, like night and day, Springsteen and Beyonce, etc.

Suggest that you go toward the 'best' side of things. Stay the hell away from the discount parts store stuff. Don't care if it does have a lifetime warranty - just how many times do you want to pull everything apart to replace a failure covered under a warranty? I'll save everyone my AutoZone rant.

If you're going into the clutch, suggest to replace the pressure plate and throwout bearing while you're at it. Get the better stuff, unless you really like wrenching on a Saturday night as opposed to quaffing a few brewskis.

Thank you! I could not have said it better myself.I like the Valeo clutches.I look for a clutch that will suffer the demands of what I am going to use it for,not for the cost.I am going to go ahead and say this.Most expensive clutch does not always mean best clutch.
