Which new Clutch and Flywheel to install!
 
My clutch has started slipping especially in the higher gears so I need a new one.
I want to do the work myself and there is a great how to style video on youtube showing the order etc. I think doing the work myself I could get an uprated clutch and light weight flywheel for cheaper then a stock replacement at the stealership.

The Exedy clutch seems to be popular on this forum. Does anyone have one, or a better kit to recommend?

I do a lot of autocrossing anyone know if you can change the flywheel and clutch for STX?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

For autocross currently with stock 230Hp but may add some more later to maybe 300 HP what stage Clutch kit should i buy 1, 2, 3, or 4.

I have a stage 1 Exedy with over 300whp and have never had any issues with it .

I did have an ACT HD at one stage but found the pedal pressure required around town a drag.

So there is no need to get a higher stage then as they all seem to be a similar price

Lol, well as stated above they are around the same price but do you want a stiffer pedal or a more stock feel as with the Exedy? If your running stock power levels then either should do just nicely.

Thanks guys I think I will go for the Exedy stage 1 with light weight flywheel.

Do you know if that is legal for the STX autocross class?
