stage2 with the fidanza fly is fine. just make sure you break in the clutch properly and adjust the pedal after the break-in period.

on the MC there is a bolt that you can adjust, which adjusts the height of the pedal and engagement point of clutch.

The Exedy OEM replacement clutch is not bad at all. In fact, I think that clutch should be perfect for your car.

If the OP of this thread said his car was pretty much topped out (230-255whp) and he planned to use the car for many track event or many dragstrip runs, then I would recommend spending more for the stage 2. Other than that, if it is less than 230whp and the car will be used mostly for daily driving with occasional track use, the OEM replacement should be perfectly fine!
