Default Pick your clutch of choice.

All motor LS, good for high 13's. Want something that grips good, but not as harsh as say a stage 5 unsprung. Probably going to go with an Exedy or Clutchmasters, unless I hear something which would change my mind.

ACT 6puck unsprung with eitehr the HD or XT pressure plate....

grips like a woman on your nuts, that just found out you cheated on her but at the same time is calm enough to put her out on the street corner...

i was looking at the stage 2 clutchnet too. but then i read about this guy on here or on HAN. he had the same clutch and it ate through his itr flywheel within a year or less. im most probably gonna go with ACT now.

I would highly recomend ACT. Heavy Duty pressure plate w/full street disc. I got over 50K on my NA 13 second GSR. You can beat the crap out of it and it will handle it with no slipping.

You pay for what you get with ACT

I put an ACT 6puck with HD pressure plate on my GSR about 3 months ago and have had no problems. It chatters really bad at idle with the clutch pedal out but other than that, it engages fairly smoothly for being unsprung, and holds like no other. Best pick IMO

Bahahahahaha......

I agree though, ACT is the way to go! I got an ACT street/strip in my Teg, and an ACT 6 puck in my CRX, both are great.....

I had a Clutchmasters in my Teg once and it didn't even last me a year....

i run a act full face street hybrid lining disc and heavy duty pressure plate and an ITR flywheel ...when i was shooting nitrous...i blew the diffrential at the track..and with new engine setup i've gone thru 2 axles at the track in a span of 2 weeks...act grabs hard...but some associate act with "grabbing" too hard...i think it's just coincidence..have had my clutch setup for about 25k miles..thru mostly n/a and about 10 bottles of a direct port 60 shot..still holding up fine...

Exedy is built from scratch.
ACT is rebuilt with OEM parts.

I would really suggest a Centerforce Dual Friction or Clutchmasters Stage 3. I got a clutchmasters stage 3 in my car and its great. It easily holds what i'm throwing at it. For what you are doing you don't need a chattering, tranny breaking puck or a heavy *** ACT thats a **** to push the pedal down. My buddy had a ACT 6 puck in his civic and that thing was ridiculous trying to move the car 3 ft, it would just grab and jump. Then he had a heavy ACT PP for his 240sx with SR20det in it and even that was a bitch to push the pedal down. Get a stock feeling centerforce or clutchmasters aif you're gonna be daily driving and you'll be happy. I'd rather go to a gym to work out my leg, not my car. I'm sure you're not gonna be putting down enough power to exceed the holding the power of these clutches and it'll be enjoyable to drive. Just my 2 cents.

I'm not impressed with my Exedy organic racing clutch. I'd recommend anything else!

i never had any experience with CM, Exedy etc.
I had the ACT stg 3 kit.

i was still in the breaking in process then my car got stolen.
Its a notch harder than the stock clutch but it was great.

I can't believe an organic disk is winning over a pucked clutch.... in the end I don't think the organic is gonna hold up to some big power... ?
