Default clutch setup

I just ordered my act streetlite flywheel, and i'm wanting to go with a clutchmasters clutch setup. first things first is the flywheel compatiable or does it even matter, a flywheel is a flywheel. if it does matter then what act clutch setup is good?.... I was looking at the stg 2,3,4 clutchmasters setups and they are all the same price well hell i would rather go with the 4 if its the same. its like saying 5 nugget is the same price as the 10-15 peice nuggets... well **** i want the 15... but foreal best suggestions take a look if you would like tell me what you think

Stock Type-R clutch would be fine with 200whp. Running a "Stage 4" clutch would be like running a Tilton twin-disc on a 300whp Civic.

Your anology isn't correct, a better anology would be how large of an amount of Honey Mustard would you want with your 10 piece McNuggets... Sure, the gallon is the same price as the 2 small cups, but what are you going to use the remainder of the gallon for? Shampoo? Sun tan lotion? Wack off juice? The choice is yours, but you only needed the 2 small cups to begin with.

See my point? There's no reason to overkill. 200whp all motor isn't that much power, like I said, a stock Type-R clutch can handle that no problem.

Even with that, a stock Type-R clutch would do just fine.

Stage 2 organic would probably be best. Puck clutchs are annoying, even if they are sprung.

I ran a ClutchMasters stage 2 on my old ITR and it was a fully built 2.0L n/a setup. No problems at all.
