Default What Clutch to buy

I Have a Integra LS Turbo running 8 PSI, it is a street driven car, and race in the summer 2 times a month. I am making 185 whp and around 170 poounds of torque, might up the boost in the future. Should i buy a street disk clutch kit, or a 6 puck, These are the clutches i was looking at:

Exedy Thick Cerametallic Single Plate Clutch

SPEC- Stage 2, or 2+

Competition Clutch- STAGE 2 Street Series 2100 Clutch Kit,
STAGE 4 - Strip Series Sprung 1620 Clutch Kit

Clutch Specialties

RPS

For that level of power, most mild street clutches will work just fine.

I love ACT clutches. I've tried a few and they're by far the best.

I believe it's apparent that you've never driven a car with an ATS clutch.

i just got a new type-r tranny i'm about to put in and i'm looking at a new clutch as well. one person told me ACT sucks and to get clutch master. another person told me ACT is the **** and clutch master wears out quick. i guess its all a matter of opinion.

a friend of mine is using an act clutch its there basic on up from stock clutch , neways it has thrown a cel, and it chatters alot, and after 4 or 5 thousand miles is slipping. im using an exedy stage 1 with a light weight flywheel and it works perfectly it grabs every time and doesnt let go, the only down side to exedy is the fact that it has a 750 mile break in, with the stage 1 the clutch takes alittle more force but not much compared to how well it grabs i did my first launch at 5grand and it never slipped.. i for one will only use exedy clutchs and flywheels..
