| Elring seems to be the brand with the best results. I can support that. The Fel Pro is also a good name brand but I have never used it. If is was readily available in my neck of the wood I would give it a try for sure. |

I wouldn't have any issue taking a Fel-pro if it were in front of me. Federal Mogul makes quality stuff. What they don't make for themselves they get from quality suppliers. Either way you should be fine.

I've got one sitting on my shelf to install. Someone gave it to me a while back at a car show. I'd be curious to know the quality/longevity of one of these as well. They look good upon visual inspection but i havent tested it

| Thanks guys-hopefully will get it installed today I have to get the flywheel off which will be a challenge. Any thought about re-using flywheel shims? |

If your end play is good, reuse them.
