why aren't you going at least stage 1? i'd stay away from stage 2 applications though. Going oem isn't a bad idea too...

no......no.........do not go to autozone,pepboys, and etc....quality wont be there. As for the Exedy OE applications dont get it. I have the exedy oe clutch on my Y8 and pedal feel is way soft bro. I believe there are lot of people here on HT who has the exedy OE clutch and agree with me. It grabs well but the pedal feel sucks. Id either go with the ACT OE clutch (i think they have one), honda oem clutch, or the ACT stage 1 clutch

well from what i know you can use a oem pressure plate with a aftermarket clutch disc. All you'll have to do is make sure you resurface the pressure plate. (thats if the pressure plate is still in good condition) As for using a act pressure plate and oem clutch disc i wouldn't know if the combo would be a good idea or not. bump for the answer.

Find gripforce clutches on ebay. Get an oe exedy with a fidanza flywheel.

Might run you $250. Kick-*** setup. Highly recommended and praised in a few threads here on H-T.

You'll want to get the clutch for a 94-01 Integra, Del Sol Vtec(B16), or 99-00 SI. I wouldn't go with an OEM clutch. As soon as you do a few speed shifts the clutch will be grenaded. They also don't have that much feel. You can run the aftermarket pressure plate with a stock disk. Just clean up the pressure plate with a little sand paper. That holds up pretty good for a while. And don't forget to change your throwout bearing with the clutch if you change it. Me personally I'd go with a street/strip disc or an exedy stage 2(3 puck). They are a little harder to drive until you get use to them but they hold up better if you race every weekend. I'd also suggest a lightened flywheel.

I don't understand why going through the trouble to go back with OEM? I would do atleast a stage 1. Do you plan on any mods at all?

Exedy Stage 1 Organic w/ Exedy Flywheel + B18C1 + LSD =

I really like my setup, i've driven a mildly built GSR with a stage 2 ACT clutch and i liked it also, if i had to pick i would go with either company (stage 1 though)
