Default Clutch buzz

How unhealthy is clutch buzz for my s2000? Is it a problem that needs to be solved ASAP? Also which brand of clutch does honda use for oem clutch? One last thing. When I replace the clutch I was considering an exedy oe spec replacement. Should I consider possibly another brand and or stage 1? Thanks for all your help! It's very much appreciated.

From what I understand clutch buzzes are not bad on your car but they sound sooo annoying! I have one too! But OEM is exedy I would get a OEM replacement that is what I plan on doing when I have the money

I just got mine changed because of a broken throwout bearing (caused EXCESSIVE clutch buzz!! I just posted on this forum about that). But yeah, I got the Exedy OE spec replacement. It came with its own pressure plate, so i used that with it. The clutch pedal is feather light. VERY light! At first, it annoyed me alot, but I don't really mind any more. It requires a lot of getting used to, but now I can shift with a flick of the ankle (well...that it is how I like to think of it haha)

If you're talking about just the friction plate of the Exedy clutch, then i'd recommend to anyone that is not boosted/pushing a crap ton of power. It grips really well

I've got the Exedy kit with a ACT prolite flywheel and it buzzes so loud. I hate it.

It seems only the Honda friction disk eliminates the buzz. I use it with an aftermarket pressure plate and am happy with the results.
