Default Which clutch did you choose, where's a good place to buy it, and did you install it yourself?

My B16A still has the stock clutch and a performance clutch will be my next upgrade. I'm not into drag-racing or autocross...just want a fun clutch for my daily driver.

Most important factors for me would be durability and price. What did you guys choose? Where'd you get yours? And did you install it or have a mechanic do it?

TIA

I have an Exedy racing clutch w/ organic disc on my crvtec...2500 miles and still rockin'. No problems what so ever so far.
Purchased kit from clutchcityonline for $260 shipped. Fast shipping and good customer service.
Yes, I installed it myself. The motor was out of the car so it was really easy.

I just installed an Exedy OEM clutch kit (purchased from same place) onto my brothers 89Si motor last night so we'll see how it does this weekend.

I've got a CM stage 1 clutch onmy b16a swap. Installed the clutch before I put the motor in. Easy on the leg and holds the power nicely. Might upgrade if I decide to up the power...ie turbo all motor setup.

exedy.... organic on a ZC turbo that seems to be holding fine.
clutchcityonline.... $260 shipped with a free undersized pink and white T-shirt.
yes.... you're missing the fun of this entire hobby if you don't do the work.

THE ACTION clutch kits are the most reliable kits that we have ever used and sold. Everyone that has bought them have had great results.
We are testing out a custom ACTION pressure plate this weekend at the NHRA event in Pomona for our street D16. I'll let ya guys know how that goes.
