Default Clutch

Hi,

Looking for some advice on which brand would be recommended when buying a clutch. Now the clutch is not for my S2000, but instead for my Civic (MB6) with a B18C4 engine. But will also be good reference for future S2000 clutch changes.

Which brands would be considered better?
My options are Exedy, Competion and RPC clutches.
Exedy I can get in an OEM as well as Stage1 Organic.
The other two options only come in Stage 1.
I dont mind staying OEM, also dont mind going stage 1.
The car is used as a daily with fast road and some track usage. Power is stock, so no need for anything silly.

Again, all 3 the above mentioned clutch companies are about the same price, so the price is not a factor.

Thanks

Just changed to a Competition Clutch Stage 2. A tiny bit of judder to begin with, but seems to be smoothing out now (only done 150miles). Will take much more torque than oem. Seems slightly lighter than oem, just as easily controllable, but a touch more bite when you need it, especially with the delay valve removed.

Just done some reading and seems a good mod to remove the delay valve. Correct me if I am wrong, but only down side to removing the delay valve would be damage to transmission through stand still launches? I have felt mine kick in once or twice at high rpm gear changes. Feels like clutch is slipping.

Whenever I hear the term organic clutch, I picture a nice farm in a picturesque part of the country with a nice crop of clutch plates growing

I have a Competition Clutch Stage 2 in mine, feels no different from the OE as far as I can tell (though the car was off the road for a while!)

Car is supercharged with 457bhp at the flywheel and I've had no hint of clutch slip at all, it takes a reasonable pounding. I've done about 4,500 miles so far
