ARRRGHHH im so sick of hearing this STAGE BULLSHIT, each clutch manufacturer uses a differnt meaning for "stage 2, stage 3" etc. you need to know what kind of pressure plate, and clutch disc you are getting. not just a stage 3 clutch, because that could be shitty.

who cares what stage it is.

we cant help you pick a clutch untill we know how much power your going to make.

im runing a Action 2MS 3100lb. but im going to making ~350whp..

if your going to making good power. i would recomend the 2MS. it feels great, and grabs like no other when you want it to..

platinum.

It totally depends on your goals and preferences... I have an ACT XTSS in my car and I love it... pretty stiff, but I don't drive my car to and from work every day... do you drive in a lot of traffic? There are just so many things to consider when selecting a clutch...

It's really important to select the correct clutch for your application... I see a lot of people who buy clutches that are overkill for their car... you interact with your clutch a ton and it really affects the way your car feels when you drive it, so pick one that matches up with your power goals and driving habits...

i know all this I'm just wanting to know what would be recomended in general. you gotta start looking some where . as well as from this poll i can see how stiff your clutches are. once again i know this is honda-TECH but try not to be so technical this is a general poll. just wondering how stif your daily driven turbo d clutch is. and yes it is hard to be this general. but ya i am likeing what i hear about the act clutches.

I'll say a carbon/kevlar disk with a sprung hub.

Pucked clutches are overkill and just put extra stress on transmissions 99% of the time.

EDIT: Check out proclutch. They're fairly well known and dirt cheap. I'll be getting one pretty soon to drop in my turbo D.
