need new clutch (not really, just want one)
Getting a new clutch soon, I just wanted to hear some recomendations, war stories, or just what info you people have. Any info is always good info.
My application will be daily driver + track days + autocross (BSP scca).
I have always leaned towards ACT in the past. I am interested in trying somthing new. Like I said, any info is good info.

I zoom therefore I am.
I would suggest sending a PM to Charles R Hill. He'll not only answer all your questions but his company , BHR, can sell you all the parts you need.

I got an exedy stage 1.. the pressure plate clamps down a lot stronger than the stock.
So it does feel different but after about a weeks use i got the hang of it. I wouldnt recommend getting anything higher than a stage 1. Seems like it would be a PITA for a daily driver. IMO .. and i also purchased the kit from Charles

Wow, thank you for all the info.
It is much appreciated.
I may have not mentioned that I can hear thepilot bearing is beginning to
tear itself apart.
I know the stock clutch is pleanty strong for the app. However, later when i decide which
power adders to use. Or maybe a 20B. I will need a stronger clutch.
Again, Thank you so much for the info.

the 92-95 RX7 have a problem with the act heavy duty pressure plate, they will bent the fork or wear the pivot ball. I don't know if the RX8 did the upgrade on those parts yet.
you should get the flywheel at the same time while you do the clutch.

Charles, would it be safe to assume you recommend the ACT SS Street Disc? My car is stock for the moment but will eventually have a few power upgrades. I'm looking to replace the clutch and pilot bearing as soon as possible and just need a lil advice as to what to get. Thanks.

I've been running the CenterForce Stage 2 clutch for about 30k miles now and absolutely love it. The pedal feel is about the same as stock but the engagement is much better. I really like it so far, it's a very snappy clutch which throws some that have driven the car off since it doesn't feel like it's going to be.
