Simple/quick answer: The stock clutch would be just fine for your application.

More info, if you're interested: If you go with any 'performance' clutch that's relatively affordable, it'll be a single-disk clutch with a much stiffer pedal pressure. This will make your Supra more difficult to drive - your left leg may actually tire from the stress during a long commute, and you're more likely to stall your car or chirp the tires leaving a stop sign or red light. If you want to spend a lot for a clutch (~$2k USD+), then there are other choices that you theoretically might consider.

Question: How important is 'normal'-feeling driveability to you?

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
