Default 2012 JK Clutch Options?

Hey Guys,

I'm looking to replace my clutch, not sure which route to go. If I'm going to be replacing the clutch I want to put something good in there that will last. I was leaning towards either a Centerforce or a SPEC Stage 2+. Any info or suggestions would be a great help.

Thanks

Center force is very good.

I just replaced mine with the center force dual friction and their flywheel in my JK. Put the dual friction clutch in my JKU about 4 years ago with the factory flywheel. The center force flywheel is 20lbs heavier which should help at low speed to prevent stalling but I can feel a loss of power going up steep grades on the highway.

Do you remember which kit you purchased? I'm checking out the Centerforce website, but it looks like all the kits need the Centerforce fly wheel?

You don't need to use the center force flywheel only a new OEM or have your resurfaced.
