I'm installing a JDM SR20DE in my '93 SE-R soon. I was thinking about a new clutch since I'll have the car apart. I'm wondering what you guys recommend and also where would I find the best deals. So far what I've seen the clutches have been pretty damn expensive.

Thanks,
Todd

Depends on your power goals. If you're planning to stay NA and don't take your car to many races, an '00 SE PP clutch kit is a good idea. If the car is strictly a daily driver, the Key Value Clutch Kit is not a bad idea either. Both kits are priced well below $200.

KV clutch = $99! Good for a daily driver car and sometime track use.

Very good clutch combo.

I can attest to that too! I have the KV clutch in my car and I love the soft pedal feel and good clutch-grab!

How about exedy clutches? Someone on ebay sells them for $135. Are those any good?

Not worth it. It is supposed to be a stock replacement. Why pay more for the same thing?

Okay guys, I got the USDM SR20 out and did some inspections once we cracked the tranny loose. The clutch is gone. I need a clutch now and I thought about lightening the flywheel as well. I'm considering this KV clutch and the Exedy. Exedy says it's 5-10% stronger than stock. It comes with a PP and a new throwout bearing. Does the KV come with this as well?

Thanks,
Todd

Yes, it includes the PP, clutch disc, and throwout bearing.

So would you recommend it over the Exedy?

I would! Let me ask you this, is your car going to be strictly a daily driven car, or do you have some racing in mind?

Mostly a daily driver, but I might do a few AutoXes (which I don't find to be too hard on clutches). Maybe a few stoplight battles, but until I BOOOOST I won't be doing too much of that. The WRX will be saved for most of that.

JWT on the Pressure Plate.
I believe I got my SE disc through Courtesy.

For N/A and light track use, also for light turbo setups i found my ACT to be an excellent clutch, soft pedal, nice grab, long life.

Don't buy a clutchnet from mine and what i have read most to all of them moan and whine at some point. ACT Street/Strip clutch never did that.

for stock power go with a key value kit. also, when e-bay sellers are claiming 5-10% increase over stock it is almost always on the lower end. they just double up of the retaining clip for the pressure plate surface. you will not really notice a difference for performance over the stock kit. you dont need a jwt, act, or clutchnet setup so dont waste the money.
