opinion on exedy clutch?
does anyone use this clutch?
seems like a standard OEM clutch?
i need to replace the clutch but i want something that is daily driveable. i wont ever go over 350hp so should this be a good choice or should i get one that is a little stiffer? 4 and 6 pucks are definately out of the question. but is increasing the preasure plate a good idea?

i just got my new clutch installed. it is ACT's S/S with a heavy duty pressure plate and i couldnt be happier. The clutch grabs hard and is perfect for street use. i recommend that.
Stay running...please??

I have heard bad things about Exedy clutches. I have never used one or drove a car with one, so I don't know from personal experience. One thing I can tell you though is I have bought two ACT clutches and they are the best. I have absolutly no complaints and they are tough clutches.

ACT is not a part of Exedy/Daikin Clutch.
Here's how it breakss down.
In Japan - there is Exedy (name offically changed in 1998). In America there is a wholy owned subsididary of Exedy named "Daikin Clutch". Daikin Clutch does a TON of OEM business, including the OEM FD Clutch, every Honda Civic, every Accord, every WRX, every EVO, every Cavalier, and the list goes on and on.
Exedy/Daikin Holds 95% of Japanese OEM business. They supply all 11 Japanese manufactures along with their factory race teams (STi, Ralliart, MazdaSpeed, NISMO, etc, etc). Additionally, "Exedy Performance" products are sold thru Daikin Clutch - these are the anodized purple "Hyper" series and Carbon series.
Since Daikin/Exedy manufactures such an enormous amount of OEM clutches, Daikin/Exedy sells it's OEM products to clutch companies that modify them to their specs, paint them their company color (yellow, orange, white, blue, etc) and sell them as their own.
I hope this clears some things up - or just confuses the heck out of you.

I purchased my OEM replacement from GripForce shipped from Exedy here in michigan, showed up quick and I paid $250 shipped, everything's great but I think either the pilot bearing failed or I borked it at installation somehow :/
