Ive had great luck with Torco TC from ebay. I also have stage 1"s and they hold to the abuse nicely.

My local place does great work. Asked about a single disc w aftermarket billet cover, $325 plus tax and core. Triple was $400 I think.

They just rebuilt an A43D Yota one for my pal. Also had a ZF 4HP22 converter rebuilt and restalled there.

Www.greatconverters.com should be their website.
