Dude, do you trust ebay stuff like that with your car? I mean getting some JDM tails and projectors and such from ebay is cool, but I think the F1 company is kind of fishy. Especially with a price that low. If you want your car to last get something better. People around here go with Spec clutches. I know nothing of them, but will probably end up getting it soon.

you may need it but look at it this way, its better to need it once then need it twice.

If you want a good clutch, it won't come cheap. I have an Exedy clutch and I love it. Spec and Exedy are good companies to buy from. Sometimes you can find them cheaper on ebay but don't buy from a company you haven't heard of, it's not worth it.

i think the problem is that no one has dude. and for good reason.

Trust me man, cheap almost always means poor. Cheap parts will not last and youll have to do it again, or it could really mess something up because it doesnt work right. Then you have to pay more to fix that plus the part you bought in the first place.

Spend the extra money and get a part that is known to be good and long lasting.

IMHO A stage 2 clutch on an st motor would make it incredibly difficult to drive. If anything go for a stage one street setup. Both Excedy and Spec are good but also look into Luk and Act.

Just depends on what website you find them on. Like I said, sometimes ebay has Exedy clutches for like 240, other sites do 300. Just shop around.

They wear in, but they still grip like a mother. i think the Stage one will be fine for what your doing. i think Stage one goes up to 250MPH but dont quote me on that, i cant remember off the top of my head.

im not tryin to steer you in the wrong direction but maybe you should buy it anyways and then let us know how it feel's/drives....it might be a perfectly good clutch its just that noone wants to take that risk of something goin wrong with it and having to replace it again...you never know though it may work good and you may have no problems at all with it...then again it might $hit on you in a couple months...its a gamble

It depends on drivability. Do you want to have a sore left calf when your done driving for the day? If you don't mind go stage 3. But stage 2 is enough for just 200 hp. Even some stage 2's will kill your calfs like the trd clutch for my 7th gen gts. Killed me calf everyday.

all nwe clutches will kill ur leg for the 1st day bcuz they r new, after that, then it well lessen significantly, depending on the clutch u got. also. a stage 2 exedy clutch doesnt necessarily equal a stage 2 spec clutch. that have different properties with the different stages. do some more research, and compare the clutches side by side with there properties.

Just because it's new it won't kill your leg.

^ yeah. I had the TRD clutch in my 7th gen for almost a year and it had the same effect to the day I swapped out the tranny and changing out the clutch.

all new clutches WILL NOT kill your leg.
its all about the pressure plate, and how heavy the levers are.
typicly, the higher the stage, the more pedal effort it will require.
other than that, jeffs pretty much hit the nail on the head.
