I have a stock '05 EVO VIII in need of a new clutch.
I am considering Exedy stock replacement and Exedy Stage 1.
Price is not the issue as they are only $20 different.
I don't plan to put a lot of power into the car so I am considering the stock replacement, but what if... I drive a lot of city miles so I don't want a really hard clutch pedal. Is there much difference between the two?

 

Stage I will be a little more forgiving if you add a bolt-on or two and should still be very drivable around town.

 

I love my Exedy stage 1 HD for daily driving, etc. If you really plan on staying reasonably close to stock torque levels you could consider the stage 1 SD which will have a lighter pedal than the HD, while having a slightly lower torque rating.

 

If you don't plan on increasing the power by alot stay with Exedy

 

Thanks for the input! I am leaning toward the Exedy Stage 1, to keep my options more open than if I just got the stock replacement.

Where would you recommend a good source to buy it? About how much is a good price? Thanks again!

 

I recommend the Comp Stage 2, has the same pedal feel but will last longer and can take more power if you change your mind on bumping up the power.

 

Comp stage 2...Easy to drive and holds power.

 

I have comp stage 2, awesome clutch. I recommend it.
