So I am never the type of person to jump into a purchase without exhaustively researching all of my options. I have been shopping a clutch for my Si for a while now. My current one is not slipping, but I want to do more for power and would rather have the clutch upgraded first.
I have read countless reviews on different companies and various different stages of clutches. It is difficult to get clear, concise, and accurate information. For example, a friend of mine got the Spec 2+ with aluminum flywheel installed. He loves it. No chatter and grabs really well with no lock out issues.. However, I have heard from others with the same clutch with lock out problems. The same goes for the CM FX350 with lightened flywheel. Some love it with no issues. But I have heard that the flywheel can sometimes bang against the bell housing because it is sized wrong? Again, it is hard to get accurate info.
I have not really seen or heard any feedback on Action's newly released 10th gen Civic clutch line. We have also all heard that Eman's Type R retrofit is the way to go, but currently it is not really convenient or cost effective for anyone who doesn't live within driving distance of him.
The majority of Si owners are like me. We want a 280-300whp/300-330wtq reliable car that is not going to implode or need a new clutch every 20k miles. A lot of that is how you drive it obviously.
That all being said, does anyone know where you can get unbiased reviews on the number of clutch options that are currently available? I have also heard that a few companies are working on a "Type R-esque" clutch for the Si. But again, that has been hearsay so far.
