Default Need clutch help, don't know which one to choose

I need clutch that is stronger that factory but not to the point where its not streetable. I'm guessing something that's considered "stage 1" or "stage 2" is what i'm looking for.

Would this be a good clutch for me? http://www.prostreetonline.com...8800a/

Trying to set my price ranger at no more than $300 and if anyone knows of any other sites I can check out let me know thanks!

Check out ebay.com..Theres a company on there called gripforce/F1 racing,They sell very good quality clutch kits for very low prices..Ive installed these on most of my friends cars ..Ive got their 6 puck with stage 3 pressure plate,,..Whats your setup..? Just basic bolt-ons.? If so look into the stage 1..

Cheaper then $300? eBay:

http://search.ebay.com/search/...ory0=

That was just searching for "exedy integra 92". Since it looks like youre rockin a 92-93 teg. Drop the exedy if you want other companies in the search.

I've had an Exedy setup (w/ 8lb flywheel) that I bought about 1 1/2 years (25k miles) ago. Still holding up great to the daily abuse it sees from the B16 and high RPM shifts

yeah my boy recently installed on of these gripforce clutches on his accord with a h22 it grabs really nice no problem with it yet if you just want something that grabs a little harder for the street cant beat the price i think it was like 150 including shipping. For a serious HP car i probably wont trust it but for what you looking for i think its worth a shot

Yeah I saw that, is it a good quality clutch though? That's what I'm more concerned about. BTW I already have an ACT flywheel so I'd probably just sell that one or might use it if its lighter. My ACT one is 12.5 lb and this one is 9.75 lb; Would it be harder to use on the street with something that light?

Oh you plan to boost..? stage1/2 may not cut then..Maybe you should get the same one I have..F1 6 puck with stage 3 pressure plate..The pedal pressure is like stock and it grabs alot harder then stock..My only complaint is the clutch chatter at lower rpm,,But with a stage 3 you expect this anyway..

I know you recommended a stage 3, is this something to look at or stay away from? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

If you are planning to boost, there is only one clutch that I will recommend... Exedy Racing Clutch Stage 2. This clutch is a 3 puck, and does chatter when driven on the street. I have one and I absolutely love it. At first I didn't like it, but now I am hooked on it. It isn't in the $300 price range, but, if you plan to boost it is worth the extra money. Keep your ACT flywheel.
