Clutchmasters Stage 3 should be more than enough for your needs.

Clutch Masters is a really nice clutch. The stage 1-3 hold 70% over stock. The Stage 3 however will last longer.

You'll hear good and bad about all clutches. I use ACT in my MR2 and love it, but I hear some bad things about ACT. Many people use CM in Hondas, but I still hear bad things about CM as well.

Centerforce...very popular in mustangs, others too are good. I'd go with the one that you get the best deal on. Most will be about the same quality. See what Ken carries and installs at KS-R

A friend of mine blew his new centerforce clutch and got a replacements, almost blew that one also untill he realized that there was some sort of pin interfering with the clutch disc. He grinded it out and it was fine. But for the cash you pay for these things you expect quality and not having to grind away **** to get it to work.

Another pal of mine had and still have (second) clutch masters, he has never had a problem with it.

Both cars are civic's....................................of course................haha

Exedy clutches are great, however having said that, all Exedy clutches require adjustment of the push rod. Generally it needs to be shortened or the clutch will over engage.

It really isn't much of a problem, but the fact that something needs to be adjusted after the install of a brand new clutch makes people somewhat weary...

I've heard nothing but good comments overall from ITR owners and SiR owners who agree it's a good replacement clutch that's slightly stiffer than stock. Apparently it can easily hold like 300whp for the Organic Disc ..I could be wrong, but that's what I've read
