I'm glad you started this thread, as I have the questions. From what I've read and heard the clutchmasters are the best. I'm thinking about going with a clutchmaster stage3 and clutchmaster flywheel. Looks like it gonna cost just under a 1000$ for the set.

In part, it depends on how you're going to drive it. If it's only street driven, and full throttle blasts are not common. Anything a step above stock should be fine. If it's auto-crossed or drag raced, you could go up maybe 2-3 steps from stock. For me and my road courses, along with the 300hp power goal, I'd go up one, maybe two steps from stock. Keep in mind, that as you go up in clamping force, it gets to be annoying to drive around town. You think it's jerky now! Also, the lighter the flywheel is, the more you usually have to rev it to accel from a stop, as a heavier flywheel helps keep the motor spinning if you bog a little.

I haven't heard any reason other than price not to use the Exedy clutch yet, but I'm still holding out for more reviews...
