I recently picked up a F1 Stage 2 Clutch Kit from Speedi Soultions (Gripforce Clutches on Ebay) in Brea. I have read reviews all over the net providing both positive and negative feedback respectively. To jump to the point, which clutch should I go with? Should I stick with the F1 Stage 2 (Pressure plate is Seco/Seojin Clutch from Korea, Clutch disc made by some American company along with Bearings made in china, not Nachi from Japan) or should I go for an OEM replacement clutch from Exedy? Also, should the throwout and pilot bearings matter if they're made in japan or not??

I was hoping to get at least a stage 1 from exedy, but the price for the stage 2 was pretty reasonable considering my budget, and my driving situation as of now. Im just concerned about it not being a "true" stage 2 clutch (i.e. high pedal engagement and slippage) and really thinking about going for quality and assurance with the exedy kit. I understand the "you get what you pay for" saying, but sometimes decently priced products will most likely do the job in most cases. Some insightful feedback would do me justice, as I am planning on taking this clutch back to them by this afternoon and exchanging it for an exedy kit with Nachi bearings.

Reasoning please? Exedy is an OEM distributor.

Don't use F1. I've never heard a single good thing about them.

No they aren't, Daiken makes the OEM Honda clutches. Exedy is Daiken's more "performance" line. Same thing I know, but with the types of questions and comments I see here lately, some things need to be clarified so we don't have more idiotic questions. I can just see someone asking if Exedy is better than Daiken.

You're splitting hairs, but you know it.
