Axel is referring to the OEM-spec Exedy clutch, they run anywhere from $100 to $150 I think. They're good clutches, my friend has on his fastback with the fidanza flywheel i sold him. Very responsive/quick to grab.

Definately go with fidanza flywheel.

I've got a SPEC Stage 2 right now, recommend for NA purposes. I've heard of problems with them and I'll switch to ACT after boost is applied.

Spec stg II. No issuse's here. Nice low pedal and smooth engagement. Grabs and holds no slipping what-so-ever. IMO best I've had. Centerforce was the worst but hot spotted flywheel might have had been relative.

Not trying to jack post....

What clutch would you recommend for 400hp SR20s?

Where is the best place online to get clutches for SRs?

i have a centerforce stage 2. compared to other aftermarket companies, it is way easier to drive everyday. act, exedy, and spec are also some other good ones. ive heard a ton of good things about the act kits.

I'm just using an aftermarket OEM replacement clutch I bought from autozone. Not sure how much torque it can hold, but I'm probably making somewhere between 160-180wtq and it doesn't slip.

ACT Street/Strip is a great clutch, kind of pricey but the response and feedback is awesome and it's fully streetable. Don't remember exactly, but I believe it holds up to 300hp (SR).

I wouldn't trust a clutch that had it's holding capacity rated in horsepower. Torque is what is directly working against the force of friction of the clutch and pressure plate, not power.

It had two ratings, the second one was for torque (~350 ft/lbs IIRC).
