Default Looking for a good clutch...

So i'm putting together my turbo set-up on a D16Y8. I've been looking all over and on other forums and when i find a clutch that looks like a good one i find a forum that explains how bad they are. Can anyone give me any insight as to a good clutch that can meet my requirements. Im shooting for about 200whp. I've looked into Exedy, SPEC, Clutch Masters, Competition Clutch can any one else recommended a good clutch for my set-up or a clutch they have had success with. Thanks in advance.

Oh and the 200whp should put me around 165-175lbs from what i have found.

Through some further research i am looking into either the competition clutch stage 2 or stage 4. Would stage 2 hold the torque that i would be producing with my set-up. I know stage 4 would be overkill but i would rather have a clutch that is overkill compared to one that fails in a month.

Does anyone know what the stock torque rating is on a 99 civic ex D16Y8?

so i found a site called LSD motorsports and through some research i haven't found anything bad about their clutches. I think i am going to go with their Tuner Clutch Kit (6-puck, 285ft/lbs capacity) for 250$ shipped. PRetty good price considering. Here's a link to the clutch if anyone has had any problems with them let me know.
