I've watched clutch threads for two years now, and the Exedy is by far the best overall, its also by far the most expensive though. Very few problems, awesome clutch, but you pay for it. I will be getting one when I am able to afford having the car down for a day or two.

ItalianJoe is correct, but if you can wait, Centerforces clutch package should be a better daily driver setup then Excedy. I talked with the sales man, and made sure to mention the price that Excedy is selling their kit to see if that would help them to keep the price down.

It's going to be close to a grand. It's going to have a pressure plate, dual-friction clutch and matching lightweight aluminum flywheel. For all of that and the quality that will come with it, I would expect to pay no less then about 8 or 9 hundo at the least.

Useless posts like this are why I dislike this forum. If you are going to give an opinion, state it as such. If you are going to make a blanket statement, like "spec sux", give a reason at least. The OP came in asking for advice on what to buy. All posts like this do is start problems. C'mon guys, we can be better than that.

The Spec stage 3-2 kits are great. Had a CM stage four paired with a fidanza fly that exploded on me. The Spec stage 3-2 kit I have in the car works great and is about the same price as the exidy. Now I would have probably gone exidy if there were any to be had at the time but there weren't so I went with the spec and have had zero problems. the one thing I would recommend is to also change the slave cyl / throw out bearing at the same time. If you don't you may regret it down the road.

I am just from the old school ways and any time I changed a clutch I changed the throw out. Mine was not changed and when the clutch Masters was installed. we took the clutch masters out and the throw out pretty much fell apart. Oh and this is only my opinion and was spawned by the customer help I got from CM I will never buy another product from CM if my life depended on it. There product is not worth the paper it was designed on.
Just my opinion.
Just my opinion.

i was thinking in spec 2+/fidanza flywheel or spec 2+/spec flywheel but the price what very close to the exedy combo
i have heard a lot of good thing about exedy combo but i haven heard much about the others combo
what do you guys think? pay the couple bucks extra for they exedy or the other ones are better?
