Default help me choose a clutch for my 99 SI

I am in the market for a new clutch. As a result of searching I have narrowed my choice to:
1. ITR Clutch @ Toda Flywheel
2. Exedy Clutch @ Toda Flywheel
3. Spoon Sports Clutch and Flywheel.

My car dynoed at 167 to the wheels and I have me rev limiter set at 8900. I am not planning on too much more power wise. I know that they are all great clutchs with similar pedal feel.

I know the Exedy is the "popular" choice, along with the ITR. I don't go to the track often but I do some hard launching everyone once and a while. I have heard that the Toda flywheel is balanced to help reduce torque loss and for that reason is better than the spoon flywheel.

What do you all think?

Thanks


Cruzer

i am currently running a stock itr clutch with the toda flywheel, i love it!!!! i chose to stay with the stock clutch for now cause my r is stock (not counting the flywheel) and i don't have any engine mods on my list any time soon, so i figured fock it... how much money you plan on spending is going to determine the clutch.

I ordered the Exedy clutch and flywheel... seemed like a good choice. The flywheel is a Chrome Moly piece, like the Toda. I would imagine that all flywheels are balanced... otherwise, you would feel it! Sounds like marketing bs to me, but I ain't no expert on the subject, and Toda tends to make good quality stuff...

I don't have any experiences with Civic/Integra clutches, but out of curiosity how did you get one-hundred and sixty-seven horsepower out of your B16?

2. Exedy Clutch @ Toda Flywheel
I have the same set up, so my vote is for #2
