I need to replace my stock clutch and this time I feel like I want a performance clutch. Or do I? I just want to have a little more kick than stock, that's all. Any recommendations?

 

go to Action Clutch off Whittier Blvd and Lorena in East Los. you mentioned a little more kick than stock, talk to Alex and he can make it for you.

 

s4 or s5? not that it matters, what dose is, is it a turbo or N/A, and dose it have any mods? have heard great things about exedy clutch's, so I just put on in on my n/a(OEM street clutch) works fine so far, and I tend to be a tad.....agressive with my driving.

 

NA HKS cat back S5 I'm thinking about Exedy Stage II or CenterForce II, what do you guys think?

 

I use and am happy with the racingbeat street strip clutch

 

84stock, isn't that sold in pieces? I'm new to this, please enlighten me.

 

If the car is stock or only mildly upgraded, then stick with the stock clutch. There isn't any point otherwise in putting in a stronger clutch which will just reduce the drivability of the car without any advantage.

If the car is fairly modded, then clutch selection will depend on power and use...

 

I plan to add a header/performance cat as well. I want to feel the pull, the kick and acceleration. Aaron, power and use?

 

Stock clutch...

I’m not an expert on this but, as long as you match up the torque of the car with the clutch you should be fine, correct?

 

That's new to me (ryan123). How does one do so?

 

I chose an Exedy 'stage 1' for my stock-ish S5 n/a swap. My reasoning was, even though the stock clutch could hold the power, the stage 1 might hold up better with the hard driving I plan on doing (autocross, etc). I could be totally wrong, but that seems reasonable to me. I haven't driven the car yet, so I couldn't tell you about driveability or anything.

Whatever you do, don't be 'that guy' who puts a puck clutch in a car with 110 ft/lb of torque .

 

Sounds good, Exedy stage I. What about stage II, too much?

 

^ Not too much, just more than needed.

 

...get a 4 puck...

 

...then proceed to hate yourself...

 

exedy stage 1 set.... holds 300hp no problem and drives/ feels like a stock clutch. stage II is retarded for a N/A

 

an exedy stage 1 kit is all you need.
It performs as stock, but better then stock as in, drivability is same as stock, but it doesnt overheat as much, and it can take the abuse.

If you are thinking of doing like drag racing from time to time, autox, or just want to beat the **** out of the car, a exedy stage 1 is suitable.
Stage 2 exedy or any puck disk clutch is really only suitable if you need that quick engagement, or you like to drift, basically where the clutch will get abused to hell.

dont be like honda guys where they get a ACT 6 puck solid for a sub 200hp engine......

 

unsprung.

 

And a light flywheel

with heavy traffic and you are set.

 

Just keep the stock clutch setup.
