Whats the best aftermarket clutch for a street driven Integra?

[allmotoronly]

I have decided to replace the factory clutch in my car. The pressure plate is acting up a little, So I have decided to use an aftermarket clutch assembly. I have used clutchmasters (stage 2 and 3), competition clutch (stage 2), and an exedy clutch (stage 1), but all were on other cars. Which clutch is the best for an Integra GSR, with basic bolt ons, daily driven? I am looking for something that is going to have long life, is reliable, and is a little stronger than stock. Pedal stiffness is not an issue. What clutches do you all have and how long have they lasted? thanks. Positive rep points given for useful info.

exedy. Organic ftw, I would not suggest a puck style clutch being that they are goin to have a shorter life span. Being a everyday driver, exedy stage one organic.. throw a flywheel on to while your at it. fidanza flywheel..

Clutch Master Stage III pressure plate with an ACT street disc and 8.5lb Cusco flywheel...ideal street/track setup better than any integra i've ever driven.

thanks for the imput guys. Like I said, I already had a exedy stage one in another car and I really liked it. I was thinking about getting the exedy flywheel as well... I can get a OEM ITR flywheel for right under $200, about the same price as the exedy flywheel. I have no intentions of autocrossing this car or any racing at the track. Its just a DD that gets 30 mpg.

Don't waste your money on an ITR flywheel either, you can have an oem b18 flywheel machined down to around 14lbs for a decent price...think stock is 19 (correct me if i'm wrong).



What i don't understand is why are you asking if you already have your mind made up...?

I didn't have my mind made up when I first posted this.... this is the first integra I have had, and I was just wondering what all was out there and what kind of feedback anyone had about a certain clutch.
