Default Need a new clutch..

Hey guys, so I'm on the market for a new clutch. Any recommendations? car is totally stock, but I'd say I'm a pretty aggressive driver. I burn through clutches pretty quick apparently..

Exedy Stage 1 organic clutch is very similar to the stock clutch. I'd consider that if I were you.

Exedy is the clutch I put in mine 2004 and was the same as the one that was in there. I changed it because the throw out bearing was starting to whine. I really didn't have to change the clutch. They tell you since you got the transmission out do it. No problems with the Exedy. I did the clutch in two days. A impact makes the job so much easier.

If he never have done it before(or just new to the platform) then two days (4 hours a day) seems reasonable. I've done clutches in less than 90 minutes in certain FWD cars

I was recommended getting a stage 2 clutch simply because of how quick I went through my current one. I picked up a used stage 2 competition and a lightweight spec fly, and it's already almost done for. Mind you, I'm in Cali, so a lot of traffic and me whipping around people, like to hammer it, and do get that shutter vision every now and again

I like mine well enough (Stage 2 Daily). I went with their full flywheel/clutch/wilwood etc kit. The only thing I disliked was the height increase on the clutch engagement point, but I got used to it.

I got mine from ZSpeedPerformance (via this forum) and Joe was a helpful guy throughout my installation.
