wondering about clutch engagement
I am running 5 pounds with a GReddy kit on my 98 Civic, and plan to turn the boost up to 10 within the next couple weeks. I am going to order a new clutch, to use with the stock flywheel. It will be a Clutchmasters, however I am unsure of whether a stage 3, 4, or 5 would be the most appropriate for this daily driver of mine. I'd prefer not to get something which will instantly engage, leaving me with a helluva frustrating time getting around town. I've made up my mind about the brand, I'm only asking with regards to the stage. Which do y'all recommend?
Not sure of what the Clutchmasters brand's stage breakdown is, but I use a "Spec" stage 3 pressure plate with a 6 puck sprung disc. Pedal pressure is very stock feeling (Hydrolic) and it has a little play. Takes some getting used to as the springs in the disc are much stiffer than stock, so paired with a much grippier compound the car would shudder if I didn't have engagement just right during normal driving. It only took about a day driving to get it to grab un-noticeably in traffic and used to the new foot feel. It is by far a dream compared to the centerforce dual PP I had. My experience may differ slightly though due to the ACT pro-lite chrome-moly flywheel I'm using.
