might want to try a different forum, this is suspension.
If its a daily driven car, get a sprung hub clutch (OEM), and unless your upping the torque more than 50% i'd stay with a full face clutch.
You dont really need anything more than that for what your doing.
Stick to a stage 1 or Exedy OEM replacement, i've used these on all my cars, even a turbo ZC and it held just fine.

Moved from Suspension to '92-00 Civic.
Just get an Exedy/Daikin OE-Spec replacement, or an Exedy Organic. A harsh clutch is pointless on a car producing near-stock torque levels (i.e. most NA Honda engines). All it does is introduce additional shock to the drivetrain and cause problems and increased wear with other components, in addition to being annoying to drive for no real benefit.
When you're running forced induction or power adders and your clutch can't hold the torque, then you should look into something more aggressive. For now, don't waste the money.
