exedy stage 1. daikin (exedy) made your oem clutch, they will make the best aftermarket one. /thread

IMO stages 2 - XX of exedys are less then desirable. The engagement is rough and theres only so much torque handling capabilities a stock designed clutch can take without exhibiting extremely undesirable side effects (If you've ever driven a plus 500hp AWD car with a rough clutch, you know what i speak of).

If you want a street clutch, get the stage 1. If you want something you can race on and still drive on the street, look into a hyper single / twin disc. But it sounds like you need a stage 1.

A customer of mine had an ACT on his 450whp-ish evo IX and I finally sold him on a twin disc. He actually came back in to thank me later in the week he was so happy with the difference
