Default need new clutch recommendation

Hello. For a daily driver with no major mods, do you recommend I spend around $600.00 on entirely OEM parts from Majestic Honda or the $1000.00 through Hardtop Guy with the ACT lightened flywheel and pressure plate? Will the 'grab' be better with the ACT products? Thanks.

If your car is stock just get the OEM products. IMO, the HTG kit is kind of over priced if you break down the parts, and the fact that it still uses the OEM disc anyway.

OEM FTW. i hear AP1 fly wheel is lighter. so.. for you I'd say go with AP1 flywheel and clutch. I'm sure others will chime in.

if you are not planning to do any major performance mod, i think oem would just be fine.

however, if you are thinking about it, get the ACTs or any stage 1 1.5

clutch kits since you will eventually need to replace your clutch again if you go with oem.
