Afternoon boys and girls.

So it appears my clutch is now on its way out, so I need a new one! Seems silly to put OEM in, might as well upgrade.

Has anyone any recommendations? I have spotted the RPC ones at Tegiawa and I wondered what they are like.

Anyone any experience of them?

Thanks for your help again people

No, not silly to go for Honda OEM, it's generally the best recommendation unless you are going for forced induction.

They appear to be pretty poor - for the sake of a couple of hundred quid, it seems bonkers not to go for the OEM item.

If you are standard just go for OEM, boosted users can correct me here but it is normally OK for up to 350bhp

RPC user often complain about clutch buzz.

Thanks chaps!

I was pondering supercharging in the future, and I have a mega loud exhaust.

Is the RPC vibration really that bad?

I have a Comp Clutch Stage II in mine. It's also run by a lot of Supercharger owners.

No issues at all with mine, and the HKS supercharger owners who have posted about it don't mention any issues either.

My Comp Clutch Stage II goes in tomorrow but I'd replace with OEM if i didn't have the blower.

Seems to be a bit of a luck of the drawer if it works well or not..

RPC clutches suffer from clutch buzz; I wouldnt go for one personally. Have a look on ebay for comp stage 2 clutches, only a bit more and these are alot better. If you can stretch for OEM then go for it, otherwise comp stage 2 clutch

I have Comp S2 and I'd still go oem unless I was using it for track/sprint launches, or going forced induction. Comp S2 is (judging by multiple people's opinions and my experience) one of the better (ie more like oem) non-oem clutches, but in my experience it is slightly noisier and slightly more grabby. But only slightly. It has a slightly lighter action too.
