Default Which clutch should I get?

I am going to replace the clutch soon and since I will be FI in the near future, I was wondering what clutches you guys have had success with that dont break axles or other drivetrain parts. I also have one other requirement, it has to be streetable so that I wont sprain my ankle after a highway trip home (like with my 924).

Daikan Exedy, because they make their clutches complete from scratch. Other brands are mostly rebuilds. I was even told that if you scratch off the paint off a ACT clutch, you'll see the Exedy name label on the metal, kinda tells you something. Anyhow, I just bought the Exedy Organic 08-805 for my car and it's great, not too hard, but definitely noticealbe difference in grip. From wut I understand, it's great for street and can hold plenty even if you want FI.

in about a month or so, i will buy purchasing an RPS sport series clutch. im getting the 6-puck sprung hub design. it can handle up to 280 ft lbs torque. im staying NA so that will prolly be pleanty. the way i found out about there clutch is i have a friend building a turbo prelude and he went with their stronger clutch, can handle up to 700hp. ive driven his prelude with that clutch, and i love it. check out there webpage at http://www.turboclutch.com

I'm using an ACT XTSS... it's awfully stiff, but grabs very very very hard. No clutch chatter at all, and definitely streetable in traffic.

That is way too stiff then. I guess I'll look at the prices for an Exedy clutch (and possibly flywheel). I'll also look at the ones exaccord mentioned.

Exedy or Clutchmasters.
I've heard scary things about Clutchmasters and their friction material. I may end up with an Exedy as long as my Porsche doesnt run me into the ground after I purchase the parts needed to fix it.

I initially bought the Clutchmasters Stage 3, but sold it on eBay after hearing some mixed reviews. If I was going to do it all over again, I'd probably get an Exedy.

I have the CM stage one and CM flywheel, no complaints, grips great but I've only had it for five months.

I'm running a Clutch Net Modified pressure plate and Carbon Fiber/Kevlar disc with a Fidanza flywheel. So far no problems. Not to stiff, not to grippy.

I had a Clutch Specialties HyperClutch. 6-puck, sprung hub. Biggest POS clutch in the world. On my stock F22, it didn't last a year!!! And I was EASY on it.
