i use stock and it does the job. i'll just replace w/ stock again its cheap and easy. (i refuse to spend good money on the KA24de)

but clutches, cant say. what kind of power you putting out? how often do you clutch kick and such
daily driver?


i think preference comes down to the driver. how much can you deal w/ 3 puck will be great for drift, so would 6 but if you daily drive its not cool. might want to stick w/ a street clutch.

Saying "Stage 1-5" is not relavant w/o a company name. This is like people who talk to me about their tYtE 240 planz, yO! They getting an "S15 blacktop with a stage 4 kit." WTF?????? Nice poser... put the PS2 and GT3 down, and walk away slowly. Then I will kick you in the shin everytime you say something uneducated and cliche!

well i would personally stick with oem and just get it adjusted accordingly to what u want at the nissan dealer or do it yourself. i have alsway stuck with the stock clutch, except once, on my old s13 fb i used the cneterforce dual friction clutch, it's amazing i loved it. it says capable to hold up to 300hp it's very steetable, not too much pressure, nice and tight, and engaged smooter than a babies a$$.. i really highly reccomend it.. they sell it @ enjuku i believ, but i bought it from nopi liek 2 years ago.

Right... I was going to mention that about the "stage" thing.

Things to compare: the shape and material of the friction surface, mainly. For race clutches, you'll also notice some don't have the spring-loaded hub.

For a street car, you definitely want a full-face disc with the spring-loaded hub.

Choice of material depends on the kind of clutch behavior you're looking for. An organic disc will slip very smoothly like stock. A carbon/kevlar disc will be a bit more "grabby" and can be noticeably temperature variable, but if grabby is what you want then go for it.
