Forgiving of what?

If you want a stiff pedal - MaXX Xtreme pressure plate. Yum!

Toda clutch kit is what I would recommend. Slightly stiffer than stock pedal feel and bites hard.

Mate it up with a light weight flywheel.
Toda clutch kit and Flywheel = perfect combo

clutchmasters bites every single one of my gears and i couldnt be happier. If you dont need a clutch though, just keep you stock one in all honesty.

I don't have alot of experience with many aftermarket clutches but I will contribute that I had a Clutchmasters OEM in my '00 R and put about 3K miles on it, with mild use. I never slipped it or sidesteped it, and then sold the car to a friend. After a few weeks while coming back from NOPI, it totally went out on him on I-95. On a side note, the install was by a Honda specialist with over 25 years of experience. Maybe you do get what you pay for.

I've had the ACT Extreme with a hybrid disc in the past, but may be looking for a new flywheel/flutch combo for my NA car in a little while.

You can see where the stock (exedy) failed in this picture. That's why I really like the Action 1KS for its build quality. The engagement is nearly stock once you get used to it...and it bites a lot better.
