Default Which clutch kit is best for my car?

Exedy oem vs Comp stage 2

My clutch is officially on it last leg as I learned at autox this weekend (almost didn't leave the start line once) />

So question is which kit? I don't want anything hardcore because I don't need it with my NA setup but I wouldn't mind a little more aggressive clutch. My only worry is I don't want to blow my diff when launching at a autocross or at a stop light when trying to get my dad to race me />
The Exedy is less than a $100 cheaper so the price isn't that much of a deciding factor.

If you post. Please explain you comment I really want to do this right!
Thanks in advance for the input!

I'd stick with OEM everything and the ACT HD PP

The OEM friction disk is hard to beat in terms of longevity, price, and grip.

The ACT HD PP adds more clamping force so you get a better engagement.

Hard to beat OEM engineering on the bearings etc.

AP1 Flywheel is probably the best you can get in terms of driveability and weight

Ive heard this before, the oem disc/act pp. when i swapped to my F22 my original motor had that particular combo. Can the ACT pressure plate be resurfaced? Mine had some heat spots. Also does the oem throwout work fine with it? The one being used with it looked oem and it made alot of noise (probably just bad). Just wanted to ask some specifics since im thinking about reusing this setup when my oem f22 setup goes out. Also, how much hp can the stock disc hold with the act pp? Thanks!
