There's really not that many pressure plate manufacturers in the US....LUK and Valeo provide a lot for different manufacturers. Valeo makes most of the pressure plates for McLeod and possibly RAM.

However, it's what you do with the pressure plate that matters. If you find the right one with the right static pressure, then combine it with the correct disc material for your application, you won't have any issues. The problem with the Centerforce stuff is that their counterweight system doesn't always work and the discs they use are nothing special.
