ACT all the way. ive got an ACT XTSS clutch on my turbo gsr, and its NEVER slips, even dropping at 7000. ( yeah i know thats a little high). mine is an extreme pressure plate with a srteet/strip disc. the extreme pressure plate is a little hard to push, so you might want to go with a step down on that. but its got a smooth, strong engagement. i guess mines kind of in between a "stage 3" and a "stage 4". totally streetable, just kind of makes my leg feel like its gonna fall off when im cruisin in stop and go traffic for a couple hours. other than that i have no complaints at all. get an ACT.

ACTION is its own company. not run by a H-T member. ACTION has been around since 1960's. Look at our site in the transmission section, we have a pic of an old race car sponsored by ACTION back in the day.
ACTION manufacturs not only HONDA/ACURA but they have a complete line for ROtaries, Toyotas, Mazdas, and many other makes. WE should have the complete listing available soon on our website if you need other applications other than HONDA/ACURA.

Do yall think that a Stage 2 KS would be suitable for extensive daily driving? Or is the Stage 2 even worth it on a NA mild horespower car? The Stage 1 can hold up to 250 ft lbs of torque and I know I will never reach that level.

pretty much the 1's are good for the majority of all setups. The stage2's are for the ones looking for a bit more grab. but if you arent really going all out and always beating up on the clutch, the 1md, 1ks are good enough.

Is the durability the same on both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 pressure plates? Will the MD disk grab harder than the KS?

the MD can grab harder than the KS since there is a solid disc option.
the KS is more for street driving. I do recommend the 1MD which is a HD pressure plate with a 4 puck disc(sprung or solid) and they have worked very well with street driven cars.
