Just get a stock replacement clutch if this is a daily.

Puck clutches are not as friendly and don't last as long.

Reworded. You'll see what I think you should get for your stock VX if you look reeeeeaaal close at the quote.

Exedy stage 1 organic will be perfect for you. It will be all the grip you need for your application. If you need a little bit more of a punch (don't know what for), i guess you could look into a stage 2, but the off-on only qualities of the stage 3 six puck may be a mistake for your DD.

would a stage 1 and stage 2 have about the same life expectancy?

The higher stages, due to their aggressiveness, I am to understand wouldn't last as long as the OEM clutch replacement.

Off the top of my head, I believe my Exedy was advertised to endure up to 200-220 hp.

I think I remember saying it was fine, since I don't intend to exceed 200 whp, so...

i have a exedy stage 2 on my b16a and love it. grips hard and i have good postive shifts at redline. grips hard enough to get a decent 3rd gear chirp. lol. but it does have a fairly stiff push with the leg.

I could stand to have a bit of a stiffer clutch myself. I know my clutch provides superior grip force compared to stock, but it still does feel a bit soft for my "spirited" tastes. That should also be kept in mind. OEM replacement means near OEM feel.

definately love a stiffer clutch feel.... better shifting i think. better feel. go witha stage 2 man. if you have the money a stage 2 exedy and fidanza lightened flywheel is a great DD and street car setup.

Exedy (aka Daikin Clutch) makes the OEM clutches for Honda. They're great for a stock motor.
