Stage 5 clutch over doing it?
When I bought my car the guy included a Clutchmaster Fx500 Stage 5 race clutch, now don't get me wrong, I love how it'll hook and all that, but in your guy's experience.. can you run it on the street for daily driving? Or do i need to sell it and get a stage 3 or something?
It's still new in box, and the clutch I have in now is slowly dying.
Any help here?
EDIT:
97' Championship White EK Hatch - Turbo'd B18C1 - approx. 300whp+ @ 8lbs. on pump.
The power im making

stage 5 should be good upto like 1000 hp right? good time for an insane build LOL.
if you car is stock i'd just go with a stage 1 or 2

stage 1 is enough for a DD. stage 5 id say would be all track/strip car. a good stage 1 holds up to 210hp and thats good for most DD SOHC that dont break the 150hp mark.

Stage 5 would have NO slip. I think everyone would agree that having a reliable (and tolerable) DD requires a very generous amount of slip.

stick with stage 1 or 2 stage 5 is way way to much for a dd.

Clutch choice comes down to your power output.
What kind of power are you making?
Stage 5 is too much for street, but if you are making huge power, you need it.

Re: Stage 5 clutch over doing it?
Wow...go post this in FI. You're getting a lot of bad answers here.
To give you something tangible to work with, no the clutch is not overkill. I'm running a CC stage 5 in my GSR and shooting for 450whp. What you have is a little big for your goals, but if you can DD it without any major complaints, there's no reason to swap it out. Who knows...with the way the boost bug bites, you'll upgrade in the future and kick yourself for getting rid of it down the road...
