Unless you're planning to boost it any time soon, I wouldn't bother getting anything other than the Exedy Stock clutch kit and flywheel. It's significantly cheaper and will do everything you need.
Pros: significantly cheaper
I use this kit for two seasons of autocross without an issue. I just replaced it with another six pack clutch and it showed no significant signs of wear. I thoroughly beat the crap out of it and I would assume it would have lasted quite a bit longer.
Pros: no significant signs of wear
I recently got and installed the Valeo hd clutch kit. So far it’s been awesome, it feels just like stock and it even doesn’t make that common ticking noise that comes with aftermarket clutches.
Pros: feels like stock, no ticking noise
I've had it for the last two months and for me it was definitely a cheaper option to the oem kit. I've liked it so far, it kept up well on the only short trackday I did yet. in traffic it becomes a little bit more un-smooth than the oem, but still works well and maybe it's just a feeling, but it picks up revs faster.
Pros: cheaper option, picks up revs faster
Cons: un-smooth in traffic
Vehicle:
BMW
Just had an Exedy stage 1 kit installed on my GR86 a couple weeks ago, had the same concerns as well. It's definitely been less noticable as I've run through the break-in period, though it was happening fairly often the first few days. General consensus from what I could find is that it happens between 2000-3000 RPM, which is exactly what I've noticed driving my car.
Pros: less noticeable over time
Cons: noise during break-in, noticeable at 2000-3000 RPM
Vehicle:
Toyota
The stage 1 grabs a bit more quickly and the pedal is heavier. (I've driven with a stage 1 exedy on a type s for about 20 years). With that being said, I don't think it's a huge difference in terms of actual real-world times of 0-60 or 0-100 times.
Pros: grabs quickly, heavier pedal
Cons: no huge real-world difference
Vehicle:
Acura RSX
Valeo HD unless you love to hear constant annoying rattling.
Cons: constant annoying rattling
I bought the correct clutch kit offered on OIWA (to generation and model) which is ACTY HA4. On the OIWA website and even the Exedy website, it was described as the proper kit to replace my models clutch, but when I pulled out the OEM clutch and compared it to the replacement, it was much smaller??? Now I’m afraid that I won’t get even close to the amount of life out of that clutch that I want since around 1/8-3/16 of an inch of the clutch is not even making contact with the flywheel…
Cons: smaller than OEM, incomplete contact, concern about lifespan
Vehicle:
Honda Acty
