Best clutch for daily driven all-motor!!
I have a B18c5 and I wanna make 200-210whp(tuned)
and I wanna know what is the best clutch to use for a street driven car? It will see very light track time maybe a practice at VIR but that would be about it. I was lookin at ACT, Exedy, HyperClutch or Clutchmaster. I am going to get a Spoon flywheel and cross gears and LSD.

bottom line, the best
just dont drag too many times back to back</TD></TR></TABLE>
yup or the **** starts slipp'n like ****.. i have the action 1ks i love it! i can do back to back drags now, 7krpm drops with drag radials... all i have to do is not power shift =o) i dont think powershifting helps anyways, speed shifting is what counts best thing about it is that its a kevlar disc and not have to worry wear and tear ever!

Action clutch has been my best bet, after trying a myriad of different units. I ran one of their clutches for 4 yrs..street and strip duty.
I use an Action clutch in my current race motor as well.

Re: Best clutch for daily driven all-motor!! (BlueDC2)
oem clutch is fine.
if you drag race - then you will probably want something with a stiffer pressure plate.
stiff clutches suck for daily driving in traffic - that's why i recommend OEM
I have the Spoon clutch on my R (212 whp/145 tq) and it holds fine. I have more problem with tire traction more than anything else.

Re: Best clutch for daily driven all-motor!! (BlueDC2)
I have an ACT HD pressure plate, with the street disc, and the XACT prolite flywheel, and i would take a clutchmasters clutch over it anyday. I prefer the clutchmasters clutches ive driven over my act clutch.
clutchmasters stage 3 is just fine for street use (my .02)

Re: Best clutch for daily driven all-motor!! (sander)
i have a clutchmasters stage 4. same price and pedal pressure. sprung hub, disc holds more power and it drives like a stock clutch. you can barely tell its aftermarket. i have a act xtreme, with a unsprung hub in my other car. dude my gf drives that ****, b/c i am too week to push that pedal more than 5 times a day. parking really sucks with that clutch. city driving and living sucks with that car.

I have CM stage4 and a friend of mine has stage3, they're both awesome. I'd say stage3 is perfect for the street, it last longer and a bit easier to handle when you're stuck in traffic. Both have a really soft pedal though.

Are you actually happy that your clutch only lasted 10 months??? I MAYBE understand if you are drag racing every weekend dozens of times, but I would be pretty disappointed at 10 months.

well yeh i was dissapointed at first, but any other clutch would of been toasted sooner or done serious damage to my tranny.. but i really abused this clutch and its been on 2 of my previous motors (blew up motors in the process.) might have lasted more than 10 month i dunno it was so long ago but it was probably 1 yr max. no race clutch is gonna give you oem longtivity

Re: Best clutch for daily driven all-motor!! (1fstEP3)
I've had ACT clutches in both of my Hondas. Great clutches that I've never had a problem with and I abused the **** out of one of them (a number of people learned how to drive stick on my first Civic w/ the ACT clutch, also saw a countless amount of really hard launches).
