I've heard nothing but good things from the exedy stage 1 clutch so I just want to make sure these are it. This is the best deal I found but it doesn't say stage 1 but it has to be the stage 1 people are talking about right? Yeah it's should be obvious but I don't want to buy something I'm dont want.

Oh and if you guys have info on the stage 2 let me know if it's DDable please. This guys selling one local and if it wont drive me crazy then I'll buy it.

here's the link:

Why not just get it from Ebay for a hell of a lot cheaper?

I too have an Excedy stage 1 clutch and it's great, still catch's great. It's the same thing as the OEM clutch too however and many don't know that. Again
Exedy Stage 1 = OEM Clutch

 

i would go with ebay. i bought a stage one off ebay and it came with a fidanza lightweight flywheel as well for a final price of 290 canadian with shipping. thats your best deal. feels better then stock with the flywheel as well. you get a free flywheel where can you go wrong?

 

I got my Exedy OEM and 8lb Fidanza off eBay for $272 shipped. Gripforce-Clutches was the seller I bought from.

 

I will look into that thanks.

 

agreed. exedy stage 1 + fidanza 8lb'er = sexxxxxxx

Not quite. Exedy makes an OEM clutch that can be had for about $130. The stage 1 has a little higher torque capacity.

Oh crap, my original question was the clutch that I'm buying if it's a OEM replacement or the stage 1. Dam here's the link:

Help me again guys cause I just bought it dam it. Is this the stage 1?????

 

That is an OEM replacement, but it looks like you scored with the flywheel in the package.

 

Dam dam dam that's not the stage 1. That sucks big time man.

Who wants to buy it from me then.

 

i got the stage 1 organic kit off ebay for like $250 shipped (next day air).
worth every penny

 

I honestly don't see why people get the Stage 1. An OEM Exedy will hold most bolt-ons.

I just got a stage one for the fact that you know it's not going to slip....plus they offer a lightweight stage 1 disc.

 

exedy makes OE which is OEM replacement and also stage 1 which hold more torque

 

what about clutchmasters stage 1 compared?

 

I'm going to need a new clutch sometime soon, my OEM clutch is going out. Do you guys think i should upgrade to a stage 2 clutch, or is stage 1 going to do the job?

 

From what I heard the stage 2 is a little to harsh for a true DD if your a person that wants a lot of comfort.

Now that I think of it, I'm just going to keep the oem replacement. You know everyone has big dream of making lots of power but in reality I cannot afford to have my car have problems with a turbo setup. Maybe if it was my weekend worrior but it's a true DD and I'm already feeling the affects of not being able to drive it for 2 weeks.

When I get the clutch I'll just slap it on. Maybe I don't even need the flywheel? What do you guys think, keep the flywheel. Heard your RPM drops super fast with a lightened flywheel.

 

you guys think I should bother using the flywheel on a pretty much stock motor? Or sell it.

 

if you are changing your clutch, just upgrade to stage 1 so you don't have to worry about it again, and get a fidanza flywheel... you'll be set. trust me.

 

problem is I ordered the oem replacement already and don't want the hassle of sending it back and waiting again.....so F it.

 

I bought my clutch and flywheel off that ebay seller, he has good prices. But I think that link is the OEM replacement not the stage 1.

 

Yeah I know that's why I F'd up. I dont plan on making much power anyways on my car ever. Now the real question is should I even bother using the flywheel. That's a question for people who has used lighten flywheel before.

 

A lightened flywheel doesn't make power, only frees up power transfer. It's definately a nice investment. Helps your engine wind down faster, if you double clutch or anything. If you don't want to invest, definately turn your flywheel when replacing the clutch.

 

Yeah I know flywheel doesn't make power but what I'm asking is should I even bother using it or sell it. Basically my engine will slightly rev faster but the rpm will drop a little quicker too from what I heard.

It's no big deal, I just want some people feedback on a basically stock motor. I mean I bought the clutch and flywheel already. I guess I should just use both of it unless some of you guys think I should resell the kit and buy a stage 1 and flywheel. Or keep the OEM replacement and don't use the flywheel or use it.

Just need some feedback.
