Sounds 2 good 2 be true

I have a lightly modified s4 with a bad clutch. Are the more expensive clutches worth it? I found a clutch kit for $108 near my house so no shipping fees. Its exedy theres a pic at the bottom. If it blows any suggestions

Exedy is decent... For 108 bucks you can't go wrong. However, I wouldn't use those bearings. I would toss them and buy Mazda OEM TO bearing and Pilot bearing/seal. Just FYI.

That's an Exedy OEM replacement clutch. Not really a performance clutch, but good quality and should hold up to 250-275 hp I would think.

Well, if he gets his 88GXL up to 250 hp, I'll be asking him how he does it.

Even the OEM clutch has plenty of bite for the N/A's.

Get a Mazda throwout as well. I've had a couple of the cheap-o ones die prematurely

whats a good medium priced clutch? It may be worth it more to upgrade instead of replacing the parts the kit comes with.

Even if it didn't come with the parts, 108 is still a steal.

I bought a centerforce dual friction for $220 without the t/o bearing, and i bought a centerforce t/o bearing for about 40 bucks. So it was about 260$ alltogether, but i got my clutchkit on sale on nopionline.com

I bought the centerforce t/o bearing because i originally put a new mazda one in and thought i was suppose to use a centerforce one so i got it switched later on.

For 108 bucks though thats a good price, you dont really need a super strong clutch on an n/a if you ask me, mostly because they dont have alot of torque like the turbo cars do and unless youre doing lots of burnouts/drifting/launching, your clutch should last along time even if its close to what the stock clutch is.

While you are doing the clutch, you could also look into getting a lightweight flywheel.
