    So I am about to purchase a new clutch for the STI. I have been looking at exedy and a company called F1 Racing. I am not planning on huge power as this is a daily driver. I am hoping some of you vets can chime in on experiences and may have some suggestions. I am leaning toward the exedy OEM replacement or stage one, but I am considering the F1 kit.

    F1 kit I am looking at:

    Exedy kits I am looking at:

    ^^^ These seems to be the same kit

    Thanks in advance! :wavey:

    Southbend is the way to go. Pedal lighter than stock and it held an 11.2 run at the strip

    if i remember correctly the OEM replacement clutches will handle a LOT more than the stocker as well. just go with that one. pretty sure thats what i bought both times in my wrx, and Jamey bought once or twice afterwards. plus, aren't they cheaper than a Subaru one?

    Jeez dude that's a lot of clutches. I would seriously take a look at southbend. I can say without a doubt act 6puck and LW fly will make you want to take a shit on your trunk and set the whole car on fire. ;)

    the car is on its 4th owner now and well over 200k miles, and one of those times was when i replaced the tranny with an 06 (it already had an EXEDY OEM in it IIRC...
