Hey everyone! new to the site

I've had my 94 integra LS for 4 years now, but I have not been able to due much with it thanks to college. I'm finally ready to drop some money on it, and the first thing I want to do is replace my clutch. My question is what is the difference between the stage clutches? If I have the money to should I buy the highest stage, or should I stick to a lower stage clutch? Please help me, I'm not really a gearhead, but I love my teg!!!

first of all welcome, second the stages are clutch are going to be different for every brand. the stages are just the rating for each power level from each company. the more power they can handle the less streetable its going to be. if your not really looking to make much power then i would go an exedy stage 1 organic clutch

if you have any plans to build the motor, just hold off on the clutch. changing it is a pain especially if you are going to tear the motor down anytime soon. back to the topic at hand, i have not had any issues daily driving any clutch. right now i have a stage 5 competition clutch and its not any harder to drive than my exedy stage 2 was. decide what your goals for the car are; turbo?, nitrous? all motor? and pick a clutch that will satisfy your end goal so you dont have to buy another one later.

presonally i would go with exedy, spec, or competition clutch. i have heard of centerforce being good and ACT being good but have not used them. stay away from ebay brand clutches. i have a fidanza flywheel im trying to get rid of if you are going to upgrade that too
