Default Clutch Blew up ... need a new one quick

Hi,

my clutch broke today, it was fine then all of a sudden i could not engage any gears.

i managed to drive home without using the clutch, just

I am needing to replace the clutch plate and pressure plate, but also thinking of replacing the flywheel.

I need a complete kit, (car is almost stock apart from a mugen manifold, decat and exhaust system)
what are you recomendations, i will need one in the next few days (live in UK)
looked at
toda, but a high price
exedy.. a friend had two break in 2 months!
Spoon .. is it worth it ?
ACT .. not sure of any dealers in UK

any others, i would rather get a complete matched kit (ie all the same manufactuer)

thanks for your help

Go with an excedy organic, so far we havent had any trouble with it in an all motor low 13 sec. street tire integra. We havent put slicks on it yet, but will in the next couple of months. Clutch was easy to install and doesnt shudder the car like my ceremettalic does. I would definently go with a new flywheel whenever installing a new clutch.

I am running an excedy 9.5 lb , and the race car is running a Toda, havent had any problems with either yet.
Both clutches hold well.

None of my friends in Hong Kong have problem with their Excedy organic clutch(from civic Vti to EK9/DC2R). I got a set and have around 1200km on that. Grips very well.

As I remember ppl saying Daikin Japan makes OEM clutch for Honda & so does SPOON clutch. I love the quality it provides so far and price is really reasonable.

** I did not get my Excedy from Daikin USA.

do a search on google.com and that will return a lot of retailers or flip through a stooper skreet mag and look at the ads.

I bought my ACT Clutch Kit and P/P from Clutch City Online (USA). I live in Europe too! http://www.clutchcityonline.com/ There service is great. A big to them.

I have an ACT Heavy Duty P/P and a Street/Strip disc. I really like it. Pedal pressure is almost like stock and it grips like hell. I have the XACT Prolite flywheel 8.8lbs. You will accelarate much faster.
