Competition Clutch Stage 5 or Ironman - input needed
I am trying to figure out which stage to go with on my H22 turbo setup. I am in the market for the Competition clutch stage 5 or Ironman clutch.
I am curious as to how the pedal pressure is on the Competition Stage 5 or ironman clutches were.
This is my street/daily driver so I would like a PP that isn't godly heavy. Car is expected to make 450whp & 350'ish lbs/tq.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. I would like to stick with the comp clutch as I can get killer deals on them.

I just orderd one yesterday and it will be in next week. I spoke with a couple people that have had them in their car's and they said as long as you get the sprung version they are pretty streetable.
I hope it mates well with a 8lb flywheel as a DD.

Which one did you order, the stage 5 or the ironman?
Right now, 2 distributors are giving me 2 different answers. One is saying that the stage 5 is more streetable then the ironman ( I was also under the same impression) and one is telling me the ironman is more streetable then the stage 5 (wouldn't the iron pads be more grippy/harsh?).
Just to keep in mind, there is also a price difference between the stage 5 and the ironman as well.

Naw i went with the normal stage 5 sprung kit. I am not really aiming to go over 400whp so it should be more than enough for my goals while keeping it streetable

Re: Competition Clutch Stage 5 or Ironman - input needed (urbansi)
These clutches chatter like hell, at least the sprung ones do, I have one in my turbo hatch, I have to rev to 3k in order for the clutch not to shake the shiat out of the car... solid mounts only exacerbate the problem.

Re: (mrbsponge)
You maybe a little confused??
The stage 5 is a four puck while the iron man is a 6 puck...Now the stage 4 is about the equivilent to the ironman.
I just purchased the stage 4 after talking to competiton, they told me the stage 4 and ironman hold about the same power but the ironman is more streetable, because of its iron/carbon disc but an extra $100. While the stage 4 is solid ceramic which doesn't like to slip much.

This is definitely the correct answer
All Comp Clutches have the SAME pressure plate for stages 2-6 with the option to upgrade to a MUCH harsher, but solid pressure plate. You can get sprung or unsprung disc's as well in the Stage 4 and Stage 5 as well.
The pedal feel is great on the stage 6 I just installed on my car, even in my old school cable tranny
