Ok, I say go with ACT clutches. I have a centerforce stage II and i dont realy like it. When I driver kind of hard for like 5 mins it will start to slip.

your clutch slips becaue it was not broken in properly. I would recommend any spec clutch. ACT and Centerforce also make goods ones. Ive never had experience with Exedy but alot of honda guys like them.

Used ACT on FC's, 86's, Sw20's, and also on a DE. Always worked well, and never had any problems.

I just installed a Spec II clutch 3 weeks ago. It feels just like my stock clutch. Only it doesn`t slip. One thing about the Spec II you have to break it in over 500 miles. That kinda sux when you have to wait to test it out. Otherwise if you get on it you will have to take the clutch back out and sand it. Good Luck.
