Default Lost with clutch decisions!

Im very very lost on which clutch to go with for my 05 s2k. Im between the spoon kit and the clutch masters kit. I need a clutch soon, my car just rolled over 50k and my spirited driving is taking a tole on the stock clutch.

Im staying NA power wise, and im deffiantly a spirited driver
Im looking to stay under 1k less would be even better. Im also looking to do the clutch/flywheel together


I would love:

Opinions and feedback!

Thats for your help all

Jt

We need to know:

1: Goals, both HP and driving style
2: budget, how much $$$
3: Just clutch, or flywheel and what not?

For a stock replacement with a little better holding power, I went with the Spec Stage 1. The pressure plate is a little lighter than stock and the peddle feel is the same. Great clutch, and they say the stage one will hold up to 320 ft lb of torque. I wouldn't know though, I am bolt on N/A.

Edited.

Thanks for the tips..

How long have you been driving on that clutch for? I has a exedy stage one in my rsx-s and loved the feel of a stage 1, i wouldnt want to go any higher than stage 2 seeing that my car is my DD.

Make sure you research which ones have 0 clutch buzz. I have a stage 2 competition clutch and its pretty noisy

I went Exedy OEM (really oem..even has "honda" stamped on it) + a lightened F1 Chromoly flywheel, came out roughly 500$ for parts.

works GREAT. I can still teach people how to drive on my car, so its not too hard to relearn.

Yeah thats another factor thats just screwing me up even more in this decision..


With the exedy "OEM" clutch/
1. Does it grab harder, because thats my main goal. I had an exedy stage one in my rsx-s and LOVED it!
2. Is it a tad bit heavier?

Thanks!

Hmmm, mine has a little buzz, but hell my car is loud in every way. My Spec has about 3,000 miles on it, no problems so far. I daily my car, but don't put a lot of miles on it.

i actually have the spoon 3 puck kit with spoon flywheel and its a great combo but if you're gonna daily drive the car then then its a very harsh one (i don't dd my s2000) if you do decide to get the spoon kit go with a full disc clutch it will be alot more comfortable on the streets and can still be tracked. well anyways best of luck and hope this helps out in anyway
