I say if you are mostly stock to about 300hp a 2100 would be just fine. from 300 to 450hp a 2600 would be good. More power than that and you will have to decide how to handle it. A 2600 or 2900lb PP with a copper ceramic puck disk is an option or a twin disk setup.
yea, you cant really make good recommendations w/o knowing what the guy has or what his goals are... but since when does being the fastest FWD w/ a 2100 make you a pro at clutches when it comes to an AWD? AWD is going to need something different than an FWD and can also tolerate a much grabbier and stiffer clutch than a FWD since wheel spin/wheel hop is not an issue. on an FWD, a 2100 is probably the ideal clutch since its less of an on/off switch when compared to the 2600 which makes it easier to get out of the hole w/o spinning or wheel hopping... but a 2600 street/strip disc is THE standard upgrade on an AWD, trust me. anything less than a 2600 in an AWD is a waste of time and most people would agree w/ me... theres no sense in doing a job twice. Just do it right the first time.

its liek the people who get a 16g thinking its going to be everytyihng they wanted... but its not, most people find out the 16g is too small for their goals and end up turning around and selling it... which would explain why i see so many 16g's for sale on the trader...more-so than 50trims.

anyone planning to do more than Free mods on their AWD should plan to upgrade to a 2600 street/strip full face disc when their current one fails. we arent putting out more than 280 AWHP and the 2100 couldnt hold up at all... a few good launches, even just one, the thing would smell like shit... too much slip, not enough grip for an AWD. Had our car been a FWD, then maybe we wouldnt have had to spend money on a new clutch and we'd still be riding around on a 2100... anyways...

AWD=2600 as a standard upgrade... anything smaller is a waste of time and money, IMO.
