getting new clutch

getting a new clutch- can anyone reccomend one. i use it as a daily driver. a better clutch act,excedy, etc will hold up to more abuse? i do a lot of traffic/city driving in ny. what do you think i should get?

Exedy OE or stage I will be fine for you. ACT will be as well, but they're $100+ more.

stick with the major brands... the smaller ones like clutchnet, clutchmasters, etc.... all have questionable histories and are hit-and-miss on quality..
Centerforce has been around forever, but have proven to be junk on the Maximas time and time again...

the ones I trust in doing the job ONCE and getting it right are ACT and Exedy. (FYI, ACT uses an Exedy friction disc)...

Would this be what I would want for a heavily turboed car? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ACT-H...spagenameZWD1V .I want to be able to hold 375hp, although I don't expect to reach those numbers while in college, but I nice 305 or so in a month is attainable. Matt, do you get good deals on all clutch setups and fidanza flywheels?

I got the exedy stage 1 from the group deal on here and I am 110% satisified. I would not look back to the soft oem for anything.

1. you're not going to see 375hp on any 3rd gen engine.
2. you won't want to touch that clutch on anything but track use. unsprung puck-type hubs are VERY harsh and you'll end up eating more parts than just the clutch if you use it.

go with the Exedy stage 2 or the ACT street disc. either one will hold any post you're going to be able to give it.

(and yes, I can get them all, as well as Fidanza).
