So I'm getting a new clutch soon but don't know what kind or what brand to get. Would like a more heavy duty/performance type but don't want to spend a fortune. Should I go with the exedy oem replacement, or a different "level" I guess you would call it. Don't have any mods yet, but do plan on getting some soon. Can anyone help me?
@ ryan510 , I havent had to swap my clutch on my wrx yet but i have had good experience with excedy cermic / metal clutch packages, I had one of their stage 2 clutch packages with the triangle friction arrangement and it definitly got the power to the pavement. The only gripe I had was that the excedy stage 2 was less forgiving, if anyone else drives your car its a bit of a steeper learning curve because it grabs just a bit harder.
/second hand/One of the guys I used to work out with was running a stage2+ with a 6 puck and aside from it being really stiff on his clutch foot he was happy with the feeling. It was extremely solid but by the time he got to the gym he didnt have to workout his left leg anymore.
my advice, talk to a tuner, decide how far you want to go with your mods and get a clutch that's capable of handling a bit more than you think youll need, that way when you decide to upgrade again your transmission isnt holding you back.

I wouldn't say
"serious " upgrades but definitely stage 2/2.5 in the somewhat near future. Just want something that can handle more as well Sent from AutoGuide.com Free App
If your planning on using it as your daily driver i would look into the ACT full plate clutches, they are rated for 400+ ft/lbs. Advanced Clutch Technology reccomends them for street and occasional race use so they should be pretty forgiving.
Took...some liberty editing that quote. But, you should be able to upgrade the clutch on a STI without screwing anything up. !Thumbs Up
