Clutch Replacement Advice
I have a 2003 Dodge Neon R/T and I am pretty sure my clutch is going out. I haven't done anything custom to it, however that has always been the plan. Nothing particularly major just minor improvements. (I almost exclusively drive it on the highway for my commute to and from work - so I'm talking about things like minor airflow improvements, better plugs/wires, etc. I'd love to add a turbo, but realistically speaking I don't think that's likely. I have a heavy enough foot as it is.)
I want to make sure that when I have the clutch replaced I put a good clutch in that's going to be able to handle those minor improvements. More importantly I want to make sure I get a good solid quality clutch that's going to last me at least another 120k miles. Clutch replacement is expensive and I don't want to turn around and do it again because I bought a cheapo part.
Can anyone recommend a good quality clutch? Understand, I am very price sensitive here, I'm not looking for the space-age clutch that can handle dropping a new tricked out engine with a supercharger into the car - I just want a quality clutch that won't give out after a few thousand miles, or have its lifespan cut in half because I improve the airflow a bit.

The year is not of concern. Back when neons were using sachs clutches (some still are), mopar was selling the LUK clutch as an upgrade. This later became the PT clutch, and what your car has in it now from the factory. If your car is stock, any good quality clutch will do. Shop around your local parts stores for a deal, but this is a clutch, and not really the place to skim too much.
