Default Thoughts on Exedy OE clutch for S1 trans?

Just wondering the thoughts on this clutch for a mild GSR build. I've used this clutch with a Fidanza flywheel on my SOHC in my autox car with great results, and in a friend's JRSC'd D15B without issue as well. Motor should see about 180whp when all is said and done (PR3's, bolt-ons, and eventually ITR/mild cams). The car's an autox car so it won't see slicked out drag launches, although my R comps are fairly sticky lol. Going to use the Fidanza flywheel as well.

This one below fits my budget and like I said, had good experiences on my similarly modded SOHC. I'd rather run an OE Exedy vs an eBay heavy clutch.

Two reasons: 1 is I have had good luck with the same setup on my D, as has my aforementioned friend who's putting down more power than me; 2 is I am already well over budget for this build and I don't wanna push my luck with the missus going further over lol

I need a flywheel as well, one that came with the trans would need a resurface at least, and it's stock. I really like the way the 7lb feels on my setup too.

I have a stage 1 organic (P/N 08804) and its great! Just about done breaking it in, and its soooo smooth. Im running a resurfaced stock flywheel. Its on a stock motor B16 (just I/H/E). Launches damn good, very easy to feel the tires' grip level. Then, it grabs like crazy when you dump the clutch during shifts. Also has a decently mild pedal pressure. I got mine for $252 shipped from lightning motorsports. It's supposed to be able to take up to 200 ft/lb of torque, so probably around 300hp on a B16. I would highly suggest getting the stage 1!
