Clutch kit Luk or Exedy
I know most of the posts here are showroom floor cars with a ots tune, not a ton of legit builders on these older cars, but i thought I'd share my experience with my B7 RS4 LUK rep set clutch. I put in a performance clutch on a B5 1.8t about 5-6 years ago after a build I did pushing around 450, immediately slipped on the "performance" clutch. couldn't hold higher load gears. Ended up swapping in a 240mm ECS RA4 single mass lightweight flywheel with a B7 RS4 clutch and Pressure plate. (Just have to drill the pilot holes on the pp out to 10mm and shim the flywheel out ~2mm or so for a EPIC low dollar performance clutch.) I've been thrashing this with everything from a much larger custom hybrid k04 @30 psi, an EFR 6758 turbo, A custom hybrid Holset hx35/hx40 pro (BIG turbski) bigger than my head and im a huge dude. Then a handful of small/medium frame (gt 2871r) and some pretty large T3/T4 hybrids with IE Tuscany rods on a 1.8t trying to find the sweet spot between performance and drive ability (read.. lag) this clutch has been absolutely beat. Absolutely. 2 step launches for years, clutch kicks, tons of dig launches and drags that cost me cracked rear subframes or destroyed transmissions (it's a transmission boneyard in my shed lol) I recently sheared my timing belt pulley clean off.. too much sauce, and pulled this motor again to throw a new head, turbo and transmission in. It's my stupid fun car. Was surprised to find this clutch disk in such good condition. TONS of life left in it. Cost like 150 bucks off rock auto. LUK repset B7 Rs4 clutch and pressure plate. For anyone looking to push some serious power, this is a SOLID option for the budget minded individual. I'm throwing one on my B5 S4 as well after seeing this. Was going to go big because it's a stg 3 at 27 psi and the stock clutch can't handle it, but after seeing this. And having made more power than that I am sold. Great upgrade if you need to replace your clutch. It is a 240mm clutch so make sure it fits or you'll need to upgrade your flywheel too. But dang.. I'm tickled pink
Pros: tons of life left, holds serious power, budget friendly, solid option

Audi RS4
My go to is exedy stage 1 organic clutch kit. It can hold like 400 hp before it gives up and it's a good daily driving clutch. Also exedy is the oem for many cars the their oem labeled stuff is the same as \"Honda\" oem
Pros: good daily driving clutch
I got it and am loving it. feels great
Pros: feels great, loving it

I put a LUK clutch kit in and replaced all the seals and such not too long ago. Shifts fine, least for an 020 anyway.
Pros: shifts fine
Thats what I have in my NC, it has been great for my 2.5 swapped car. Clutch feel is very good, a little heavier than stock but not much. Flywheel is very livable too.
Pros: great performance, good clutch feel
Cons: a little heavier

Mazda
I just did an Exedy 'OEM' type kit from Goodwin with a new Master Cylinder and a new Slave Cylinder and a long Braided clutch line from Master to Slave and I have Zero complaints! Everyone at Goodwin is Top Notch and Exedy stands by their product! I also did a light weight Exedy Flywheel. This was all on a 94 1.8 that I just bought that had the exact same Throwout Bearing grinding that you are talking about! And, once I got in there I found that the Pilot bearing was also seized. I did the rear main since I was in there too lol.
Pros: zero complaints, good product support

Exedy OEM replacement kit has never failed me.
Pros: reliable, never failed
Okay so i have a 93 mk1 cabriolet and i have just replaced the clutch about 6 months ago with a LUK clutch kit from rockauto. Recently ive noticed that when i give the car more than 50% throttle the rpms continue to increase but the car gains almost no speed.
Cons: rpms increase, car no speed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Its not a bad clutch kit for the price, perfect for a chipped car. Just not meant as a performance clutch, the disc will fail 1st.
Pros: good for chipped car
Cons: disc will fail first
eurospec flywheel exedy stage1 clutch kit (**** spec clutches for life)
Pros: stage1 clutch kit
Cons: spec clutches bad
