im pretty sure after market are as cheap as oem !?!? its the added lfywheel thats pretty expensive.

well, if u look at the traders section, aftermarket clutches seems to be as low as 3-400 bucks only.

i guess it depends what ur foot will get used to. and how u drive.

Of course after market la.

Contact Leo, hes got some good deals on exedy ones.

IF u want to go a bit hardcore get a lightened flywheel while ur at it.

Amen to that, i have the same setup, love it, great for daily driver, but 50% stronger clamp than oem, great for snappy shifts!!

exedy organic for sure. Its worth it only about $100 or so on top of the stock OEM. Very nice and grippy and still good for daily driving

OEM is from Daikin (exedy) anyway.

get a better aftermarket clutch, well worth it

Daikin is owned by exedy, not assembled by the same people, parts are diff. also. That being said, both daikin and exedy are exceptional clutches, compared to extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeem and other shyte.

I've got daikin with OEM pressure plate....works fine for me. Wouldn't go heavy duty, as I've got a dodgy left ankle that gets sore.
