The question is what is your setup? Do you actually need an aftermarket clutch and PP? If not exedy OEM or stg1 is a great kit to go with for a DD.

What do you mean "kick"? All a clutch does is engage the engine to the transmission. You don't need a clutch that is designed to handle more power than your car makes.

Get the clutch that is best suited to your application. If your car is making 175whp or less, an OEM replacement clutch will suit your needs just fine. A more performance-oriented clutch will offer absolutely no benefit, and it will just give an annoyingly harsh engagement, and wear out faster (just as performance brake pads do... a clutch is essentially the same concept.)

What about south bend clutch? They are #1 in diesel trucks, and thats saying something since diesels are horrible about hurting transmissions and clutches.

See the 175whp remark?yeah thats about accurate.With those bolt ons and your future mods i don't see you making 175whp on a bolt on F22.So an OEM type replacement is what you need.

In my experiences I've ran Exedy and Competition Clutch...I prefer Competition over Exedy. I run a Stage 2 since I have a JDM H22 Type S with bolt ons and a tune; but for you Stage 1 should do fine. While you're at it get their lightened flywheel, the combo does wonders.

Act clutch kit with 10.5 flywheel best combo Running h22 with boltons
