Please advise me a clutch!

These are my mods to my car..

Perrin Intake System
Buschur Ported Intake Manifold
Buschur Ported Throttle Body
Buschur Ported Exhaust Manifold
GSC S2 Cams
GSC Beehive Springs and Retainers
ARP Head Studs
o2 Housing No name
Megan Test Pipe
Tanabe Cat Back
Stock Down Pipe (Will change on next tune)
Stock Intercooler (Will change too ets 3.5 next tune also)
Muse Complete Intercooler piping kit
1120 FIC Injectors
Walbro 400lph Fuel Pump
Samco Radiator Hoses
Hallman Pro Boost Controller
Stage 2 Competition Clutch (I believe this was what I put in 20k miles car gas 70k now.)
New Spark plugs
AMS Oil 10w-40


What clutch would you guys recommend? I am the first owner of this car and in 70k miles I have launched my car maybe 5 times, never been on the track and really only step on it when on the highway..

I would like something comfortable to drive daily and more street based then drag racing..

I was looking at the EXEDY STAGE 4 TWIN DISC PLATE HD CLUTCH MM022HD. But it is a bit pricy, I do not plan on doing anymore to my car and would like to save money but also don't want anything cheaply made..

Would the Exedy Stage 4 twin disc be an overkill?

If you guys can help me out.!

The same clutch you have in it now should be good. If you don't want to pay for a twin disk perhaps a 6 puck sprung could be a viable option.

I prefer Exedy clutches to Competition ones for what it's worth. I have an Exedy Twin in my IX and it's a great clutch!

I agree.. But my question is, is it really worth it for me for my parts that I currently have in the car? for a Daily Driver? for someone who will never see drag strip or launch there car? I heard it was very very noisy and takes a while to get used too because its more of a race clutch. but I could be wrong.

I don't know how much experience you have with clutches, but for a twin disc I think the Exedy is very agreeable. There is some noise about 60% of the time upon engagement and the pedal (mine is an HD) is reasonably stiff, but you can definitely drive the car on the street with it no problem. I drive in Atlanta traffic with it sometimes and while it's not the best, for a twin I think it's great. I had a CC twin disc on my previous car and that thing was loud, had a way stiffer pedal and could not be slipped, ever. My car just has basic bolt-ons and I will never launch it as long as I own it either haha

Exedy stage 1 HD. Will be nicer to drive than a twin; engagement is smooth and noise-free. Rated to 400wtq so with your mods you'll be plenty fine. I've driven 2 evos with the twin HD and I simply don't understand how people say it's fine to drive in traffic.

Drive a car with a competition twin disc in traffic, then an Exedy will feel better than stock lolol

For a DD with under 360whp, just get a stock clutch replacement kit from Mitsubishiparts.net

That is beyond overkill, get a stage 3 endurance from South Bend Clutches. It is kevlar which sounds perfect for your drivng style. Kevlar will have much slower wear than an organic and it is a dream to drive in stop and go traffic. And it is still rated to 625 ft/lb of tq so you have plenty of room to grow.
