FCC is the oem maker of the clutch disc. Not Exedy.
The right driver means operating the car correctly. Whether driving wide open on the track or slow around town doesn't matter. The right driver will enjoy the car every day on the track, the wrong driver will wear out the clutch in 10k gentle miles around town.
I did my ACT pp and oem parts at 10k. Now at 145,000 and it operates like brand new. And its all track and Dragon miles.
Of the many broken Exedy kits I've pulled out, the customers have all stated there was less than 20k on the clutch. The T/O bearing will fail at 20k like clockwork. The disc will buzz right out of the box, and the springs will beat themselves loose.
The Exedy disc also looks nothing at all like the oem FCC disc.
The oem PP is also indestructible, if you don't get the ACT pp.

Okay Bill, I hear ya about what a good driver is
someone who knows how to drive 'stick' in cruise or track scenarios. I believe I fit that bill lol 
I don't burn clutches on a whim or ride them finished. Impressive longevity for ur clutch. Nice! What type of power is it handling?
Do you think I could use my current OEM pp with a new clutch disc and bearing?
Sad stories about Exedy...

I had a exedy hyper stage 3 clutch kit installed with a vortech supercharger. This clutch was too stiff and the flywheel was too light for my ap1 used for city driving only. I swapped it out with the ScienceofSpeed Sport Clutch Kit with 11.5 lb Lightweight Flywheel and ScienceofSpeed Stainless Braided Clutch Hose. This kit is a little stiffer than the stock clutch, some more clutch noise and the flywheel is just right for city use. I'm happy with the scienceofspeed parts and other people that have driven the car also like this kit.
How much did the SOS kit cost if you don't mind me asking?

Expensive! Clutch Master and Spec kits cost from 450 to 600 dollars and up on Moddiction.com
That Exedy cost you a fortune! I doubt many people would be willing to buy a used clutch though.

Well guys, my baby is back with a brand new genuine OEM clutch kit installed, MTF3 fluid for gearbox, oil filter and oil (Castrol Edge Titanium 5W40) in the engine!! Been a long and arduous road... one that saw the warranty provider being a totally unfair idiot by NOT PAYING a cent 
Anyway, the car feels AMAZING. This new clutch is sooooo smooth with good bite! Still wearing it in though. Just picked her up today. Highly impressed by the high quality of these parts
