I have a 1980 280zx and the clutch just went out on it. I am wondering if I should put a double friction clutch in it for $260 or a stage 5 for $560? Is the stage five worth the extra $300?Should I just go with the double friction? Please let me know on this. If you know of any where that I can get it cheaper please let me know thanks

From what I've read about clutches it doesn't matter how tuff it is it can be broken it depends on the driver. If you've got a stock Z don't waste your money on bigger better clutches till you need it. Sure it sounds good to say "Hey I've got a stage 5 clutch" but if you don't need it don't buy it.
I've read about tripple plate clutches being destroyed because of the way a driver has treated it.
Not trying to diss ya just trying to save you money $$$ money is your friend :-).
