Default What clutch should I get?

I need to replace my clutch and throw out bearing, any recommendations on which clutch and bearing brand I should buy?

depends on what you want out of it.

I've had Exedy oe replacement clutches...110 shipped off ebay, and those work out great for daily driving and whatever.

But I'm loving my new ACT clutch with street disc and heavy duty pressure plate.

Anytime you buy a clutch, it will come with a new throw out bearing and pilot bearing.

Is the exedy the Factory clutch? Somebody told me I should get the honda factory clutch because it is the more reliable over aftermarket clutches. Also, does the kit come with the flywheel?

an exedy factory replacement has a little bit more clamping force than a stock clutch and will handle a little bit more abuse than a stock clutch.

I had an ACT 6 Puck on my integra and that was good. You get a rush when you it grabs and you step on the gas. When you down shift you see all your friend's heads hit the car seat and stick. Alway burning up and slipping.

I have a ACT 4 puck in my civic now and that sucker just keeps going.
Never have problem with it.

that depends on how much torque your engine is putting out. if it is stock, and you plan to leave it stock, you should replace it with an OE clutch. if your car is slightly modified, i suggest an act hdss, or xtss depending on the degree of your modifications, or long term plans. if your making crazy amounts of torque you should go with a four or six puck clutch - but ONLY if you need it.

Default clutch

Ok, i will only be needing the clutch to handle up to 150 hp, more likely 125hp. So i Should go with the exedy? Where can I get an OE clutch, and are there any special tools I need to change the clutch?
