Default Replacement clutch hot set-up w/ OEM parts...?

I know this has been answered a million times but I'll be damned if I can find it.

What's the hot set-up for clutch replacement parts? I'd like to stick to OEM stuff but, I do track my car and the car will remain N/A as long as I own it. Not looking for anything carzy just good reliable stuff at a reasonable price.

TIA!!!

Not too sure on the OEM stuff, but did you ever work out if your transmission was bad?

The tranny grinds I can deal with. 95% certain I broke my clutch at NJMP.

a lot of people go with the hardtopguy package. oem disc, act flywheel and act pressure plate. you could just stick with the oem exedy stuff too.

Act HDSS is probably the best in terms of pedal feel, bite, and torque capacity. It's a good setup that many guys on this site run, and everyone seems to love it.

I have it on my S and it's great for the street, great for traffic, great for driving hard and holds plenty of power. You can't go wrong.

Agree ^^

This is my setup:

- ACT HDSS Kit
- ACT Prolite Flywheel
- Braided SS Clutch Line


Its pretty stiff over stock, but your leg will get used to it. It just gets annoying in traffic. But I have had no problems. The 'Clutch Kit' has about 25,000 Miles on it and I am still able to spin 255's Star Specs.

I fully agree with the act as a popular package, but also the old adage, "if it isn't broke don't fix it" comes to mind.

A lot of the na stock class s2k guys who I spoke to when I was looking to track prep my s used an 100% oem setup, minus the upper starter bolt =P

However, I also agree that the stock pedal feel is a little too soft.

i used to have exedy racing. - don't get it unless your car is race car. good on the race track but will strain your leg on street.

recently i changed it to competition.. again... racing... smoother than exedy but still very small engagement space. this time, i used oem flywheel which added slower response time though..

i hope it works out. i've been hearing good stuff about ACT oem setup.
