used the stock, ebc, and barnett in my 03 and keep coming back to the barnett mostly for cost and durability. I would use stock if it werent so expensive, you may notice a slight flywheel effect going to aftermarket heavier steel plates. I have used several ebc's and only had one kit- the kevlar kit, glaze up, but constant clutch abuse can do that. I do keep the oil full and clean. I ordered a super cheap - tusk kit as a spare may just put it in to see if it can handle it.... :nod:
