NC Clutch setup suggestions

I've read a ton of the clutch suggestions on the forum but most were into high power, high torque drift applications.

Here is what's being built: S4 N/a stock motor modified RV II exhaust and header, CAI. Simple build...

Now, the car will be a DD. My question is motly on the clutch plate but an idea of plate would be good too.
I understand I could just use the stock pressure plate but it feels squishy, even after a bleed and new master/slave. It's just a loose setup. I'm wondering if a new pressure plate will make it feel more "connected" or if I should just use the stock one and find a new disk.

As for the disk, obviously I want it sprung. I'm thinking just a simple stage one sprung setup from ACT.

Bottom line: ACT stage one, Exedy stage one, or stock pressure plate with stage one disk? Suggestion and reason why pleas and thanks.

i'm an ACT guy, but i do like Exedy as well. for what you're looking for, if the Exedy Stage 1 is cheaper, go with that. if they are comparable in price, then get the ACT.

Exedy can be found for 250 shipped . ACT is around 400 shipped. How long do exedy usually last for the AVERAGE driver. Not racing this FC

For normal everyday use you can probably get a decade or more out of the clutch lol

get it.

and yes, depending on how you are with clutches, you can get 10+ years easily and that's with the occasional night of abuse.
