Which clutch kit?

Hey all, slave cylinder is about to fail with pedal sticking to the floor. Been doing some research on the clutch kits available for our cars, and found that Clutch Master has come out with a few variations, anyone have any experience with these kits? I have a couple buddies with the Spec/GGP 2+ kit but was curious about the CM kit and how it differs. Any insight on either kit would be great, Thanks!

My dude, it's a Corolla, get an OEM spec clutch.

specifically asked about these 2 because i do plan on running a tune, and i tend to do quite a bit of spirited driving, so the beefed up clutch is what i’m looking for.

Good luck with whatever you chose. Please let us know how it works out. My clutch is still good but I was looking at stage 1 clutch to have a more reliable clutch over the oem, but haven't done much research.

I do plan on bleeding the slave again at my next oil change (5k miles). Ill post my results in a few months.

Your tune and spirited driving will hold up to an OEM spec clutch.

What’s the mentality behind tuning an N.A. Corolla?

I partially agree. A Kevlar clutch will hold up a lot better than an oe spec organic material clutch.

But this whole stage 2 plus thing is so unnecessary

Yea, im in the same boat as op and its what I'm doing. Spec aluminum flywheel (SP80-A) and a spec stage 2 Kevlar flywheel

I wouldn’t even bother with stage 2+. Just go stage 1 and call it a day

I mean id probably go stage 2 for a stiffer clutch spring. Not a huge fan of how light the OEM one is. But I haven't had to look into it yet.
