Default Is clutchmasters stage 3 good for a 00 ex?

My stock clutch has been slowly dying with my turbo setup and it's time to get a new one. I found a clutchmasters stage 3 for dirt cheap. It holds 110% over stock supposidly and i compared it to ACT. It seems like it's like XTSS which holds 100% over stock. Anyone know if the stage 3 for a 00 ex is good, i don't want a really stiff pedal feel.

how would you say the pedal stiffness is? I felt my friend stock prelude clutch and it was pretty stiff compared to my stock civic...is it hard to drive in traffic?

the pedal pressure is very close to stock IMO
but it grabs pretty damn hard

Hate to be the *******, but IMO Clutch Masters sucks.

They are very inconsistent in their clutch building.

Why?

Because in 2 years here at the shop I work at I've seen about a dozen CM choose your stage have the damn springs pop out of the clutch disc. Some had plenty of wear left, but the P.O.S disc just had the springs pop out because they secure them in shitty.

ACT owns Clutch Masters - this is from experience.

I've got a buddy that had a stock clutch and put a 75 shot to it and the dern clutch wouldn't catch for nothin'...now with the stage 3 and will bark 3rd with the same 75 shot...and also you can't go wrong with clutchmasters ....If i were you I would get the clutch but make sure you break it in for a little bit longer than the recommended 500 miles cuz I have another buddy who took a freshly broken in CM to an 1/8th mile track and on his first run....broke it in 3 pieces
