Default Clutch Question

Hey guys I need you opinions, I need a new clutch and i wanted to hear your guys opinion on a good reliable OEM clutch set. I read on previous threads about clutches you guys recommend but they were all performance. Is beck/arnley any good? Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks very much

IMHO, I would stay with an OEM Honda clutch if you want to replace the stock.

if you do not what to go for any sort of performance i would say just stay with an exact (HONDA MOTOR CO) clutch only... i dont know any OEM brands... and something like a clutch is too important to skimp on

Agreed. ACT is great. I've got the HDSS, but if you're going for OEM, get the HDOO its their pressure plate with a stock disk. should do what you're looking for.

I would suggest an Exedy organic street clutch. Very close to stock pedal feel and better grab for an unbeatable price...about half the price of an ACT. Otherwise if looking for an OEM one, get it from the dealer because I've tried almost all of the "OEM replacements" clutches and they all suck. Can't go wrong with the Exedy for only around 250-300...just installed a couple on customer's cars the other day.

?= how about a clutch from clutch masters. {To anyone that knows more about clutches }
I'm looking to move to a stage 1 /due to anything over is too much for the car. Did my research and found the whole kit=1400lbs pressure plate,organic full face street disc,throwout bearing/pilot bearing,and alignment tool for 155.00 plus 20.oo shipping and a 3.00 insurance= 178.00 total USD *(can be put on 86-89 Integra 1.6,83-85 Accord EK,ES2,LSi 1.8,83-87 preludeDX 1.8,2.0L

20% more pressure increased over OEM,30-40% stronger than the conventional cast iron pressure plates the other racing clutch manufactuers use 40%more holding capacity than the stock OEM while maintaining a stock pedal feel.

So ok Tech peeps,what do you think about clutchmaster clutches for this guy?
