good daily driving clutch?
Well, I've only owned my Evo for 2 weeks and the clutch is already out. Called the dealership to see what they can do and they said I prolly burnt out the clutch because I "drove it like I stole it" (yeah, they literally said exactly that). TBH, I didn't drive it like that. I drove it like a normal manual car but after hearing that the clutch in the Evo was soft, I'm in the market for something better. Since I'm still new to Evos, I'm wondering what's the best clutch for an Evo for me to just drive around, day to day. I'm not looking for the best "racing" clutch but for a normal clutch that'll last for quite some time (more then a year). Been looking around but I can't really find a strait answer. Looking for durability more then performance.
I just recently had the ACT HDSS installed and it is not too bad. Pedal pressure is a bit more, and it grabs harder than the stocker. Car is tuned for about 300 on a dynojet, but I haven't tried to launch it yet...
Stock clutch on mine lasted to 90,000 miles, I replaced it with a spec p-trim twin disc, and the pedal pressure is almost exactly the same as stock, its a bit grabbier than stock, but all in all I like it. I drive mine every day and only seldomly beat on it, so I wanted something I could live with and occasionally abuse. This seems to fit the bill (but its probably double the price of the act)

Search. There are many options. F3.2 will grip just as much as the HDSS but has a lighter pedal (almost stock). So I suggest researching before you get a new clutch.
Competition Stage 2, 3, or 4 depending on your power level and driving style. I'm personally on the Stage 3 with the Competition 10.8 lb flywheel. If you search around, I posted a review thread and have commented in many others.

Wasn't expecting an answer that fast.
