Default Alum clutch shoe ?

Do any specific aluminum clutch shoes work better than others, or does it not matter?

I've had good luck with the Nova shoes though I can't personally compare them to any other brand. One thing you need to do with aluminum shoes though is file off the bur periodically.

I personally believe that Novas are best, with Mugens running a close second.

Is a Clutch Mounting Tool needed to install the clutch shoes?

I can't even begin to imagine how that poor stock clutch would have suffered [sm=lol.gif]
