I hate to do it after seeing the hundreds of posts on this...

I need some advice on hd springs and clutch for my 350x. Clutch was installed almost one year ago during build and is already starting to slip. I thought I'd go ahead and put the nastiest springs I can find in it along with a good clutch.

Suggestions??

Well, you can get springs with as much holding force as you wish.

What clutch did you install?? An EBC or El-Cheapo EBAY clutch??

I run OEM or Barnett with Barnett springs and I am a heavy clutch user.......

Unless you have allot of motor upgrades, the aforementioned clutch will do the job fine.

machine the presure plates and get a extra fiber and metal disk in there ,that and good springs really help

Haven't had any problems with my Vesrah Kit and it came with HD springs. I lightly scuff my steel plates and soak my fibers in oil before install.

I'm not sure what clutch I'm going to use this time around. I just know I don't want to replace it again next year. It has a slight bore, stage 2 cam, nothing major. A LOT of compression.

I mainly trail ride...

How long have you had it and how often do you ride?
