If you don't launch your car, or abuse it in other ways, then the stock clutch should hold up just fine.

What he is saying is replace it with the stock clutch if you dont launch it. The clutch was the weakest link in the tranny to keep from serious damage so replace with stock and save chance of serious damage.

If you're looking for a stock *feelng* clutch that will hold the additional power, you can't go wrong with a Exedy Stage 1 or an ACT HDSS. The HDSS will hold more power in the long run - but the Exedy Stage 1 will be a more stock feel and support your mods no problem.

If you have questions or need some advice just give me a call -

I would just get the whole clutch since the labor is the same for both anyways.

if you are paying someone to install the clutch, there is zero point in just changing your disk - do a complete clutch

the Exedy Stage 1 sport would be perfect - its an upgrade from stock, but very easy to drive and very affordable

+1 with Adam. I would recommend you to go with a complete Exedy setup like the Organic or Cerametallic. We have had much success with those two and its highly recommended.

The Organic will hold a little bit more than stock with close to stock pedal feel and the stage 2 Cerametallic will grab much better but a little stiffer. Please let me know if you need any how. I will try my best to get you a good deal on it.

Are you serious? With the labor cost to do a clutch job on an evo, i don't think anyone wants to do a half assed job as you suggested here. Also if you think people are tight on cash, they should not be driving an evo. This is the wrong car to skimp on and especially a clutch job.
