Clutch choice is highly preferential, stick with a street non-puck clutch. Avoid ebay special clutches.

not sure what you mean by "left rear end sound and feel gunnky like my tranny not tight. Wats that from clutch maybee?" clutch has nothing do do with rear end noise... why would you say that your clutch is at 28%???

ACT makes an excellent clutch for street driving, I personally sport the Exedy Stage 2, and I'm in love with it. It grabs hard, while remaining easy to drive.

I had a "friend" with the XTD Stage 3, thing was a BITCH to drive. I hated it, but it did the job. He sweared by the quality of it, but he only put a few hundred miles on it.

For street applications, ACT and Exedy Racing clutches are highly recommended. Some vendors sell clutch and chromoly lightened flywheel packages for around $700. Avoid most puck-styles for the street, as the harder surface material usually experiences faster wear than organic discs.

I like CM clutches but i came over from DSM's and had shitty luck with ACT . as far as that Flea-bay crap i got two friends with those XTD crapers one in a 92 integra with a b16 swap that can’t hold **** and the other has a 03 spec-c WRX not moded that ******* slips bad. So from my experience get a ACT/CM and fidanza flywheel or something like that. Just my .02

P.S. ACT ant all bad just my luck/KARMA= Driveling the DSM's

Clutchnet makes a fairly high rated clutch. Made in El Monte, CA http://www.clutchnet.com/clutches/br...package?sef=hc

I've had excellent luck with mine in my S5 TurboVert. But they are a bit noisy when moving from a stop.
