It's disheartening to hear that people will still roll the dice on buying the Exedy OEM replacement stage 1 clutches.

It always seems like a 50/50 chance of failure. Some seem to be able to drive them with the intent on trying to break them without them failing while others baby them around and they come apart like they were made of clay

Reading the many horror stories, I could never buy into one no matter how cheap ...hell...even if it was given to me....I'd turn around and sell it! This is not to say no other clutch has ever failed in similar circumstances, but one can't fault that this seems to plague Exedy more than other popular/quality brands.

The only Exedy clutches I would use are their super singles (carbon or metal) and on a budget, it would be the stage two, 3 puck thick disc unit.

When the clutch was installed, did you resurface the flywheel and/or check the step (service height?)

So what one should i really be looking at on a buget as i need to order tonight, would preferabley be an oem one.
 
I've had really good success with running Centerforce Dual Friction.

I've run a combination of Spoon Pressure plate with ACT Street Organic full face disc which was also good. (friction point was a bit high, but pedal pressure was nice and light but it grabbed well)

ACT HD full face Street Organic is also good

Action clutches have had good reviews.

One cannot fault clutchmasters

I like the Exedy 3 puck thick disc at the expense of some driveability and life.

If you're mostly using it for street, get a full face disc like the Centerforce DF. The pedal pressure is like stock but it grabs well.

If that's not in your budget, opt for the OEM one from Honda/Spoon...NOT the Exedy stage 1.

If you want a slightly heavier pedal, I'd go for ACT HD Street organic full face.

Remember to always replace the pilot bearing for the flywheel but more importantly resurface the flywheel if you're using the stock one and check the step (engagement height).

If it's too low, the disc will not disengage. In this case, I like to opt for the lightest possible aluminum flywheel with the Exedy 3 puck thick disc :)

Lastly, I've used a lot of different high pressure greases, but nothing so far has matched the life and durability of the Honda OEM Urea grease for the bearings.

Don't try and apply without gloves....
 
so the what would be my best option? everytime i look there seems to be more choice lol... on a budget and want a standardish reliable feel...
