ACT HDSS, no need for a exedy twin on a stock engine.

ur gonna get different answers, gotta ask yourself op, 3 years from now how much power u want...ive driven in an evo with a twin disc, not too bad but ur leg will hate you in stop and go traffic, i currently have an act hdss with prolite flywheel and clutch lines. I make 385 hp, my clutch has held up over 20k, with one autox event and one drag event and DDin the clutch. So I would recommend ACT to ya, there are some ppl with this clutch have gotten over 40k on it, but since its your DD and u wanna keep the power stockish. Get yourself either the streetlite flywheel for a little quicker revs, or have your flywheel resurfaced. Good luck.

ACT HDSS here. DD, car babied most of the time. Has over 50k on it. It's a decent clutch, and you'll have room when you want power.

But if your set on keeping the car stock just get a exedy stock clutch.

Honestly, if your staying stock why not just use the OEM clutch. Mine lasted me 96k with over 315 awtq. Stock FTW!

^^Edit: Great minds think and type alike, we seriously posted this at the same time

interesting, i will definitely look into an OEM and maybe the exedy? reliability and longevity are my main concerns and yes i do plan to stay stock w/ the power. im not much of a power person, got the car because it handles really well

If the car remains stock you can go with any single disc clutch kit they are all fine.
