Default Stage 2 Clutch and flywheel or Stage 3?

I have a 2004 Rsx-s which is not heavilly modified at all. All i have is a SRI, OBX race header and a catback. I was wondering if i should go with the stage 2 clutch and flywheel or the stage 3 kit. There both about the same price.

Go clutchmasters and go stage 3. Excellent clutch for daily driver, and holds the power great. I'm just n/a but 6500rpm drops on slicks at the track and 2nd gear burns don't phase it.
Short engagement, but not choppy or stiff like ACT.
Exedy is alright also. Look for good friction compounds, and stay away from aggressive pressure plates. It will annoy you and spell the end for your clutch master cylinder.

depends what your goals are going to be .. my opinion i would leave the clutch oem ... your not producing enough hp to need more ... spend your money on suspension compnents

I like my clutchnet kevar sprung hub disc + pressure plate + 9lb chromoly flywheel. I make 225hp to the wheels and the clutch holds it just fine. I'm also against having a pressure plate that is more agressive than what you need. It makes the car harder to drive without really adding any benefit.

I also got my entire setup for less than $700
