Default need a new clutch...what to get

I have been reading up on this for about a week now and have come to the conclusion that I am a broke *** and I need to keep the price down. LOL

I would like some opinions on these:

* Exedy Clutch Single Plate Organic Full Face Disc

* Exedy Clutch Ceramettalic Kit (Stage 2 )

* Centerforce Clutch Dual Friction Set (i am lean toward this one)


Here is my current set up.

D16z6
TE04H 5-10psi
450 injectors
crome pro
head is not buit neither is the block


Because this is my daily drive i need to be as smooth as possible with shifting. I don't race very often; I just like playing with my car.


Thanks for any help you can provide.


Austin

Check with Mike at www.lsdmotorsports.com He has the best deals on clutches. Most of the HMT guys run one of his clutches.

Im calling LSD motorports as well but whatever you do avoid Centerforce as they are not good for much boost at all on a Honda.Mine started slipping at 10psi from a T25 on a D16a6 and upon some resarch i found this is a common trend.

Centerforce clutches for small applications lack the weights on the pressure plate that supposedly make them so great.I have used the dual friction in 4x4's in the past and had great luck when running 35's on a Yota with 4:10 gears and a 4banger so I think they are only good for larger applications.Too bad as they are dirt cheap through Lordco.I had a conversation with a tech guy from Centerforce after mine started slipping and he told me for a Honda/import they are only good for low torque all motor setups.
