Dude, you live in Cali and its the middle of the night... You cant even order one yet...

I looked online from several clutch companies and cant find any for the 06+ models...

Are you boosted? I am trying to understand why you need a racing clutch. If your not boosted, you don't need a racing clutch. If you are going to get one anyway, I suggest you replace the flywheel as well.

Exedy Stage 1 (part number #08806) is good up to 205 ft/lb of torque, the stage 2 (part number #08951) is for up to 233 ft/lb of torque. 300whp will probably be close to 233 ft/lb of torque. You pushing that much HP at the wheel?

The light weight flywheel for these kits is #HF02

If your higher that 233 ft/lb then get the stage 3. Keep in mind, the stronger the clutch, the faster the wear, and the more wear and tear on your drive train.

Good luck.

Why is that? I'm not disputing it, just sounds wierd that a more heavy duty clutch would wear out and wear out your car in general quicker. Learn something new every day..

heavy duty clutches engage quicker and harder causing more driveline wear. They wear out quicker because they are designed for high performance not long wear / extended use.

Ahh ok thanks for the clarification. Does it also make the clutch harder to push in and whatnot? I drove my friend's CRX SI recently, who'se previous owner put a performance clutch on it among other things, and I had a hell of a time driving it at first.

CRX has a cable actuated clutch. After 92 civics used hydraulic assist clutches. You typically get a stiffer pedal with an aftermarket clutch, but even more so in a cable clutch car (due to your leg doing all of the work). Because of the hydraulic assist in our cars, pedal shouldn't be much stiffer if any with an aftermarket clutch

you're thinking of lightweight flywheels. Less flywheel weight means less inertia to help get the car moving when you take off. Lighter flywheels should be used on lighter cars for the most part. otherwise you lose a little streetability by having to rev it up a little more.

Lightweight flywheels are a must if you ask me... I have owned one in a highly modified 98 Dodge Neon and one in a fairly well modified 89 Supra Turbo... Both cars loved the flywheel, you do have to blip the throttle a bit when first moving but once you start moving your RPM's increase much faster then before, and drop off quicker then you press in the clutch... If you are turbo'ed the turbo will love the lightweight flywheel...

I think the high revving engine of the Si would love it, it would push through the RPM's quicker... I would put one in a stock Si, but the suspension and engine will be staying stock till I pay it off...

Are you just driving the **** out of it constantly or what? The OEM clutch should survive for quite some time even if you race it frequently.
