Default clutch up grade?

Can anyone recoomend a nice clutch that will stand 300bhp that is good for daily driving and will not make my left leg look like one of those bird russian shot putter's.
I dont want it to feel like a stupidly up rated clutch because ive had a car with a paddle clutch before and it was a nightmare in traffic.

I'm using a Clutchmasters Stage 4 + 8.5 LB Flywheel. Awesome combo and the pedal is definetly lighter than stock. Very streetable and holds power good!

Ive seen some of the Act clutches on ebay secondhand DONT worry in not buying a second hand clutch! They seem to be a fair price. What sort of price are the clutchmaster stage 3/4. Im in the uk so ive got to add a load of postage on top

ACT XTSS with an Extreme Pressure plate.... Good till 319ft/lbs torque...its stiffer than stock, but it is still a street clutch. I actually like the feel of my clutch way better than any stock clutch.

I'll vouch for both ACT and SPEC clutches!! ACT has a harder pedal feel but you'll get used to it. SPEC has soooo many options it's unbelievable. I'd go w/ their double diaphram pressure plate and full kevlar street disc!!

Had a look on there, a stage three sounds best for my needs, but when i put the info in to get the price i get a price of $570 + shipping to the UK. Ive put the car in as a civic delsol 1.6 vtec dohc. Am i right in thinking thats got the B16a1/2 engine in it. Not sure if it will be the same as my UKDM B16a1

Yes you have the Y2 tranny on your B16A1 ...the B16A2 has the Y21 tranny.
They have different splines. You need a clutch that is made for a cable tranny on a b series engine...i donno what that was i USA.
