Clutch Newb.. Go stage 1 or OEM replacement

Jonnywrx · 10-06-2012, 05:39 PM

So I was driving and pretty much I heard my clutch shatter to pieces as it decided to go when leaving from a stop. I could tell it was on its way out as it had a whirling sound (at 98,xxx miles). I do mostly DD stop and go driving and occasionally spirited driving. I havent gone stage 2 yet so im pretty much stock. Should I go Stage 1 LW flywheel, or just an OEM replacement. Also ACT or Exedy?

Stage x doesn't mean anything. Every manufacturer's "Stages" are different. What matters is how much torque they can handle. ( Correct me if I'm wrong ).

Subaru uses Exedy clutches if I'm right.

Exedy OEM replacement will hold "Stg2" power
