i highly suggest the exedy racing clutch's on ebay. they are cheap and i've always run them in all my cars. i hate clutch's that make your leg want to fall off because i do drive my cars alot. i've never had a slipping problem with them even launching at 7500 on slicks at the track.

any sprung clutch the springs do eventually get loose. clutches that arent abused can last anywhere from 60k-150k, any clutch that is abused can last less than 10k. i guess it all depends on your driving. i know my crx gets hammered every time i drive it and i have about 50k on the clutch and haven't had a problem yet.

There is a member here named "MrHeelToe" that sells clutches made by a company called "Clutch Specialties". I have purchased 2 off of him and might I'd say they are good clutches....

i dont mean drifters doin clutch kicks all day or drag racers or street racers doin big burn outs. i mean autocrossers and circut guys that dont beat on clutches and at like 10k the springs are already loose. clutch still feels good, but the springs are loose.

Ok, it's late, and I'm on my way to bed, but.........

THEY ALREADY ANSWERED YOUR FREAKING QUESTION!

Sorry, but it's so true....... what more do you want to know?

You have to ask yourself a few questions, like how much do you want to pay and how much power are you going to make. Exedy Organic Race will hold 250HP and can be bought on e-bay (Clutchcityonline) for $234 shipped. Act makes a great clutch, ClutchMasters has a good rep, Centerforce's import clutches don't have the best rep............

I'll have my Exedy in by spring (along with my new Si tranny....Yeah) Ask me again then if it's a good clutch (don't know about the springs???), but it has a rep as being very streetable and should hold up to my D15b with a 60 shot
