Centerforce ?

I dropped my tranny to look at my clutch due to no pedal feel. well i found out i blew 2 out of the 4 springs on the clutch plate. im going to buy a centerforce but dont know if i should get teh regular one or the dual friction one cause its only 40 bucks more. i have the 4cly with 33's and the clutch gets a good amount of beating. is the dual friction to hard for a daily driver? anyone running one or have a thought about it tell me what u think. thanks

LUK is really about the best that you can get.
Simply can't go wrong with the LUK.
The Centerforce "dual friction" really won't do anything helpful for you.
If you were spinning a zillion rpms, then maybe.

Look at either re-gearing and/or a 4:1 and give your clutch a break, plus you'll vastly improve your off roadability.

I would avoid a Centerforce clutch whose design is more for high HP/high RPM engines. It's real hard to beat the quality and longevity of the OE clutch (mine has 162K HARD miles on it) or Luk... who makes the OE clutch.
