What are you trying to do? NA? Turbo? Did you drop the clutch often? If you are confident that it is strong, stay with it, if not, I'd go with something like a Clutchmasters Stage 2 or 3. If you're going to stay NA, get something full faced. If you're going for Turbo, go with a Clutchmasters Stage 4 (4 puck sprung) as it will drive almost like stock IMO.

inspect the PP for bent fingers or excessive wear, and just replace the disk if all is well. on your next clutch id recommend replacing the PP

Re: clutch question (Junkiii Eg)
totally agree unless it looks brand new I would take the time and money to change it out now. Save yourself some time and headaches of having to do the same thing in a month.

Re: (civicbhatch)
I have a all motor b16 with 187@ the wheels. Been there done that and got the t-shirt when it comes to clutches.
I would put a duel pressure plate, with a new disc with copper pucks, there should be 6 pucks on the dick if I can remember.
And if you have a strong leg get a plate without springs around the hub...
13x8.5x22 inch mickys leaving the light at 8500 and I still get 4th gear chirping on the street....
Don't spend all kinds of cash, My clutch was $500.00 Cdn Max
Good Luck
