Default D16Z6: Want clutch with more punch and launch

Well guys the clutch in my d16z6 is starting to slip. I'm guessing I don't have much life left in it. I'm looking online for a new clutch since I don't want to pay 300 for a ZOOM stage 1. I'm looking and ACT and exedy but I don't to drop a whole bunch on a clutch. I'm looking for like a stage 2 or 3, for daily driver and a little more punch and a little more launch. Any ideas what design to go for? Wha bran? Id Like to keep it under 350 if possible.

Like I said I want a heavier-duty clutch for launch purposes and things like that, but not something that will be done after a month.

i bought an ACT stage two clutch for about 400. it is definantly worth it. it has had no problems with me. a short shifter and jdm gearbox would be extra killer with it too.

Exedy stage 1, with matching lightweight flywheel! I swear by the combo.

Why choose 6 puck over a solid disk?

Exedy stg 1 should be good for the d16 daily unless you want the on/off pedal ACT sprung 6 punk. Do some research there a thread about clutches peeps own and how it would drive and recommend.
