Yeah I agree, ill just get a new OEM one. I just have full bolt on's, and don't really plan on making huge power anytime soon, so it will be fine. Also, isnt the OEM pressure plate made by exedy?
Act heavy duty plate with oem disc.

95k miles of extreme abuse on my OEM clutch and it's still holding strong.....

How is it crap? I'd love to know.
The clutch is good but if u beat on it it will slip even when its brand new. I have 129k on my stock clutch with nitrous, but i never hit vtec when im daily driving.

Also go do 9 grand burnouts and report back. U'll smoke that clutch in no time. Any clutch that cant hold the stock power is crap in my book. Thats just my opinion.

Why in the world would you want to do a 9k rpm burnout?

Mine has held thru countless donuts on summer tires, continuous non-stop redlining thru the night, excessive slippage by me teaching a few ppl how to drive stick, rocking the car back and forth after getting stuck in snow, nasty downshifts into redline... even gearlocking the car to break the tail loose before entering a turn. AANNNNDDD, it's still holding up.

For an NA engine, it's more than enough.. hardly crap after all that abuse
