Why not a stock clutch?

Why not a stock clutch?

don't mind as long as it lasts another few yrs of track use. if i can save the money on the upgraded clutch kit i'd rather use that for a lightened flywheel.

If your car is NA, stock clutch. They last a long time. Tracking an NA car is not very hard on your clutch. If it is, you aren't doing it right.

If you drive the car on the street be cautious in how much of a performance clutch you use. While an unmodified M20B25 certainly doesn't need anything better than an OE clutch as far as power is concerned, moving up a bit does result in a clutch that's more crisp and has less travel. On the street something along the lines of a ClutchMasters Stage 1 is about as far as I'd want to go.

the IE sprung 6 puck is nice. May be a little much for a stock 325 though. It is pretty on/off but its not that bad. I almost wish I had gone w/ the unsprung.

i don't do much street driving (still do drive to/from events). but it sounds like a stock one with a lightened flywheel maybe the way to go for now.

update on this. shop is recommending luk repset (6puck). parts and labor including machining the flywheel to reduce weight is quoted at $900. good deal?

may need to call for exact quote but they are worth it. The size of the rivets and the springs in the metatarsal are very beefy. good pricing to.

yeah the IE/clutchnets are the same. They look like they are built very well.
