Im an advanced clutch technologies fan(act) all the way!
You can dial the kit into what your looking to do and they hold well
are usually a great price for what you get.

Exedy is the company who makes and supplys most of the factories clutch kit.
But they have a good upgrade line too!

DO NOT BUY A NO NAME CLUTCH COMPANY ON THIS PART!
THIS IS A PART THAT YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET!

Im going to be going with SPEC on both clutch and flywheel with a fresh h2a8 trans (if I can find one) come this fall. I've heard nothing but excellent things about them. albeit a bit pricier in comparison, its like the header debate. you get what you pay for in performance.

i just did the 5spd conversion on my cb and so far everything is great, my front suspension is blown, so a bit of noise in the front while driving, but other than that, the transmission works great, and my clutch and flywheel, were brand new, it was a junkyard buy, (clutch and flywheel) but i got lucky, and it was actually brand new! i hope you get the conversion done soon, its awesome, and i also learned stick basically after my conversion, and i love it!

I can speak for SPEC and Competition Clutch, both great brands.

I have heard good things about ACT and Clutch Masters.

I do not like LSD Motorsports, as I was recommended inappropriately on my mild red project. The clutch hardware fitment and operation was fine, but it slipped on me by 40K miles (LSD stage 1, recommended by tech). Perhaps a stage 2 was more appropriate.

I do not have any official documentation, but I am under impression that if you use a lighter flywheel/plus camshaft upgrade with your new cluch combo to go one more level beyond the engine torque output. It seems more clutch wear occurs on launches from a stop, due to higher engine RPMs because of lighter flywheel. The clutch needs to have enough clamp load to handle these impact engagements, without slipping or wear occurs over time. That is what seemed to occur in situation explained above.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that my mild red project also idled at 1200 RPM due to Delta 272 camshaft, so normal launches from a stop started at that idle point.
