new clutch?

[sick_synergy]

my 05 sti has around 24xxx miles on it so far.
the clutch feels like its 1/4-1/3 of the way worn because i tend to run it at times and ive been trying to teach my mom how to drive a stick as well...
do i need a new one?
if not when should i start looking into a new one?
ive been told that the act st.2 is good... i went on their site and saw the clutches but idk which is a st.1 and st.2 -.-

btw yes im a noob

Unless you are pushing mega horse power get a stock or close to stock clutch. It is much better to have a little clutch slip than grenade your tranny or something else expensive. You should be looking for a organic clutch with perhaps a little higher clamping force. That will probably be a stage one but if your car is a bolt on car just go stock.

I went with the exedy stage 1 clutch. It's plenty grippy, and I'm well above stock power levels.

You have an STi though which means your tranny can deal with a lot grippier clutch without issue. It's a lot stronger than the WRX's 5-speed. For WRX people, it's "Stock Tranny? Stock Clutch!" but the 6-speed is a different story.
