Where to buy Centerforce?

It's time for a clutch and flywheel for my T5 swap. Jegs doesn't list the specific part number I need, although I'm sure they can get it. Where did you guys buy your DF161056 dual friction clutches? How much did you pay? The CF website lists it at a $365 retail!!

I'm also on a flywheel hunt. CF lists a couple different ones, and I'm not real sure what the differences are. Their list prices are in the $400 range for their flywheels. I was quoted about $120 from Big A Autoparts, but they don't have application-specific models, and it doesn't sound like he specc'd me out the right one. Any help would be appreciated.

Doh! The clutch part number is listed right there in the Jegs catalog for $270.

Still not sure about the flywheel tho...

Http://www.carparts.com seems to have OK prices and they carry the whole line. Get a new throwout bearing too. You probably allready know that.

Damn! $250 for a flywheel!? There's gotta be cheaper ones out there. The damned flywheel and clutch is going to cost more than the trans.
