Considering performance clutch..., OEM or aftermarket? You decide! Options

[sdragon007]

Howdy,

I'm the proud owner of a 96' Celi GT hatchback. Just passed 80k on the mileage and it needs a new clutch. I'm considering whether to go with the stock OEM clutch kit or to swap to a stage I aftermarket clutch (Exedy, ACT, Clutchmaster).

Currently, I have only a CAI, but will install the following parts soon (next year or so):
Pacesetter Header
Magnaflow Hi-Flow Cat
Custom 2.5" piping
Bomz Teardrop Exhaust

Now, the real question is whether the extra cash for an aftermarket clutch is worth it. I've read from these forums that the OEM clutch should be sufficient.

I'm also thinking that the Stage I clutch may be longer lasting due to its increased strength. Perhaps the extra $100 might be justified by the extra mileage off the clutch?

Let me know what you fellow 6C'ers think.

Sincerely,
Ed

pretty weird i just posted the same topic a couple days ago.. anyways.. i think imma go with something just a little above stock.. but not much.. because i'm not gonna be putting a turbo.. or really racing it.. not worth it.. i could save the money and get myself a CAI.. and new indiglo gauges....

in otherwords.. if you're not gonna turbo it.. or add anything that'l really increase the engine power then it's not worth it..

oh yeah by the way.. The Game's new CD The Documentary is off the hook..
clutchmasters.com has a decent priced stock one.. as does ACT
