Clutch kit Sachs or Exedy
I'm running this with my is38 and it's been great over the last 10k miles since I installed it. I used a brand new dmf as well.
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
I got it and am loving it. feels great
Here is the clutch kit I got directly from Sachs Germany ... VW Golf 7R Performance Clutch Kit SACHS - OE 06K141015C VW Golf 7 R Performance Clutch from SACHS, VW OE 06K141015C.
Single mass is dope. tad of noise with the 14lb fly but worth it.
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.
If you are doing it yourself and would consider stock, you could go the route I went with my family's 2015 jetta TDI. Buy the OEM Sachs clutch kit and VW dual mass flywheel from FCP EURO and have a lifetime replacement warranty on all of the expensive wear items. I also installed the orifice delete. Clutch feel is great
VW Performance Clutch Kit - Sachs Performance KIT-883082001422 VW Performance Clutch Kit - Sachs Performance KIT-883082001422 www.fcpeuro.com Stock-ish feeling, no rattles in the bottom end, will hold all the torque you will be able to generate on a stage 1 car, and likely have the longest life due to material and full faced disc. I will likely be installing one on my car next year some time.
I used the OEM Exedy clutch kit on my 2012 STI a few years ago. It's held up reasonably well, although I don't drive like I stole it very often. The only issue I noticed was the clutch felt slightly lighter than the stock one.
So I went with the OEM clutch manufacturer, Exedy. I purchased what I thought would be an upgraded clutch, the EXEDY 10803AHD Clutch Kit. The dealership installed the new clutch without issue and without addition labor charge at that time. That was less than 10k miles ago. The dealer finishes the inspection and informs me that the clutch its self has failed. I called Exedy and talked with a technician. After explaining the situation and providing him the part number for the clutch, he promptly informed me that they no longer recommend that clutch to RX8 owners, only FC RX7 owners. Within the last three months they discovered that the tolerances were off by 1 or 2mm, causing premature failure. The kicker is that I didn't originally buy the wrong clutch. It was one they recommended for the 8 at the time I purchased it. Even though they agree with that statement, they refused to do anything for me with this issue its caused. Absolutely zero. Its just absolutely shocking to me that a well known company like them would operate that way.
