When I had my 99 Eclipse GSX, I probably launched hard at least 5 times per month. Man that was great at the stop lights! Went through 3 clutches in 3 years!
ACT seems to be the best bang for the buck....

almost 50 on my and still feels like new. I think if you drive the car and launch it abusively then you shouldnt be suprised when you burn your clutch..

A slipping clutch isn't as bad as you guys make it out to be. On my Camry (V6, simple bolt-ons), the clutch slipped. Started in 5th gear. THen 4th gear. Then 3rd gear. At the time, I couldn't afford a new one. I drove it like that for a year. Now, there was almost NO material left when I had it replaced (at 133,000 miles). You guys COULD get by on a slipping clutch. But I understand why you don't WANT to.
BTW, 1700 miles on my MR and no problems. I seriously can't fathom how someone could go through their clutch in 2 or 3k miles. AWD burnouts, perhaps?
