and what do you think of it? ill be looking at somewhere between 250-300hp when all is said and done.

im not a big fan of a super heavy pedal feel, but i dont want to end up slipping either.

thanks guys

 

Clutchmasters Stage 3, best evAr. I've used them in three cars, love every aspect of it. Light pedal, good grab, nice engagement.

 

awesome, that is pretty much the exact answer i was looking for. thanks

 

just purchased a CM stage 3 from http://www.specialprojectsms.com/
all the local legit hondas run them, and its the only clutch the boys at Endyne recomend. i havent gotten mine in yet but im pretty pumped for it,

are you guys using this CM stage 3 clutch on the street or is this a track only setup?

 

ive got 2 friends running these clutches locally, both cars are daily driven, one in an EF with a endyne b20 making 254 at the wheels with a cm stage 3
and a turbo DA running 484 on the wheels with a stage 3 pressure plate and a stage 4 6puck disc. both guys told me i had to get one.

 

Mine is on a track car, but I have no issues driving it on the street. ~160whp B20, so nothing crazy.

 

Is there anything wrong with a Honda oem clutch for a NA double-duty car? They last forever and are relatively inexpensive.

 

I personally hate the pedal feel of OEM clutches. The engagement point is pretty lousy too. I have had some problems with clutch slippage with OEM clutches as well, weird as that may be in such an underpowered car.

same here.i put one in my turbo Civic eight or nine years ago.held 300WHP for a good three years,then finally started slipping a little on 24.5" slicks,so i upgraded the clutch in that car,and put the CM clutch in my daily driver B20 hatch.in my hatch it's seen about 100,000 miles of street use,plus plenty of track duty.still holding up fine so far.
i've also installed several of these in other cars and everybody loves them.
very close to stock in pedal pressure and driveability,but huge power handling-it's perfect.

CM stage 3

 

just finished putting mine in, holy what a nice piece. my grandma could press the pedal in and the way it works isnt grabby or gay atall like the spoon i had in my old car. huge thumbs up on the CM3 product and jeff at specialprojects for selling it

 

Would CM stage 3 be overkill for a DD stock 96 integra that autocrosses/tracks occasionally? If so, what would be the best clutch for that category?

 

I would remain stock on the pressure plate, and just possibly get a higher performance organic clutch disc. The clutch disc itself is the weakest point, and you wouldn't want to compromise your daily driving much with going more aggressive on either the disc or the pressure plate.

You're running a hydraulic transmission though vs a cable so pressure plate differences won't affect you as much in the pedal. I'm also putting out about 150 WHP on my 89 CRX so I'm not about to break anything. I'm currently upgrading my clutch and pressure plate now, but that's just because I stuck a 91 flywheel on it, otherwise I wouldn't have touched it. I autocrossed it over 3 years OEM clutch setup without any issues.

If you were putting out over 300 WHP in your car or are super hot with your heel/toe downshifts then I might say something different.
