Clutch help for 05 RX8

Clutch just recently went out on the car and am looking for a decent replacement. I dont do any racing or anything of that nature so im not looking for anything spectacular but definitely want my car to run smooth.

Any suggestions for some decent clutch kits?

How many miles are on your car?

Go with the exedy stage 1 or the stock clutch.

+1 on the stock clutch, it does everything you want. low pedal effort, it lasts a long time, etc

Unless your doing an FI build, stock. Otherwise ACT HDSS clutch and flywheel, my opinion best aftermarket setup with more than enough strength to handle serious builds while retaining great drivability and stock to even less resistant pedal stiffness

I know when it's time for a clutch on mine I'm sticking with the stocker. As r24power said if you might do a power upgrade the ACT HDSS is a great clutch. Had it in my ~450AWHP STI I just sold and it was great. Held lots of power and was very easy to drive on the street.
