Well I'm going to buy an oem-style clutch soon and i was wondering whose had good and bad experiences with what clutches? I just want something for daily driving and occasional parking lot "practices". The most i want to spend is about $150, which seems about an average price for an oem clutch.
thanks

for $150?.....installation alone is about that much if ur gonna get someone to do it for you....Im going to give you my thoughts, even though its more than $150.

Centerforce - sux....i really regret getting this clutch, it was 280, and its about as good as a stock clutch, if not worse..install was 100 bux
Stock clutch - i am leaning towards getting another stock clutch, which at www.courtesyparts.com , they have the parts cheap, should run me about 300 for all clutch parts (including master and slave cylinders which need replacing)...and 100 bux for install by a friend. This would be the easy one to do, since i could replace whole thing at one time.
ACT clutch - I have heard nothing but great things about this clutch, the street clutch that is, I heard the higher stage clutches ingage hard when shifting..and runs about 320.00

If anybody has cheaper prices, PLEASE let me know as well, since I am in the market to replace mine.....thanks...

I just bought an OEM Exedy clutch this morning for $112+ $15 shipping from this eBay auction (still 3 left for sale):

A member of this board suggested to me that Exedy is a great clutch, and in some research on here someone said that their ACT clutch disk was stamped "Exedy." It is a Japanese made clutch and suppose to be the best as far as OEM replacement.

I didn't even notice you were in FL! They seem to sell a bunch of different clutches. Why don't you drive over there, sneak inside and switch some tags around so that a nice ACT arrives at my house.

I've already gotten my UPS tracking number, but it hasn't left the place yet... you still have time! haha

thanks guys.......i'm probably going to buy an exedy clutch, does anybody know if a company sells them in combos w/ flywheels?

I've been having trouble finding the exedy clutch for the ka24e, if anybody knows a site that might have it can you post it please.
Thanks

I got a cosco stage 1 for my sohc and it soaks up abuse, remains very very streetable with no chatter or noise, and has no problem holding every bit of the meager power my tired engine produces. and I got it with pressure plate, throwout bearing, and alignment tool, for 100 bucks on ebay.
