the oem is a great piece. i've seen two styles of these. one is similar to the OE and it comes with clutches like the exedy stage 1. the other is cheaper and easier to screw up with hard launches. it's found in kits like the exedy oe replacement. also, if you have it all apart is there any reason you're not changing it all? the clutch, plate and bearing?

when i got my exedy stage 2 clutch the throw-out bearing looked EXACTLY like the oem one in the car; same stamping on it and everything. maybe both honda and exedy gets them from the same place?
