Default Clutch upgrades

Looking on the net for a new clutch .. I always prefer to get something a bit better than stock and the S2000 clutch seems to be the weakest link in the car.

Looking at clutchcityonline, ACT seems a few choices there (not sure about going for the full Excedy one though : Here)

Any suggestions .. I will be thinking about FI at some time.

Yes I like the Spoon clutch.

After killing quite a few other manufacturers articles I have managed to run a spoon clutch and flywheel without problems and without altering my driving style !!

Anthony, any joy on my question previously by PM ?? Exhaust ??

Hardtopguy sells one which is highly rated, it's a combination of OEM/ aftermarket parts. If you want to push the boat out get an ORC carbon clutch
