My clutch is going and im ordering a whole new clutch and flywheel. I'm looking at the Toda and Spoon kits. Does anyone have any experience with these clutches or any comments?

are you going naturally aspirated or forced induction? if NA, go with Spoon, Honda is there niche. if FI then go with ACT. That's my opinion.

I'm thinking I'm going to go with TODA. Spoon is simpley a stock Type-R clutch and pressure plate matched with a spoon flywheel. TODA makes parts that far surpase Spoon's quality. Most of Spoon's products are OEM parts that are ballanced and blue printed. These circuit league they compete in has many restrictions. If anyone has any personal experiences with TODA products please PM me or reply.

I have ordered the TODA clutch and flywheel. The Spoon Clutch is only a stock Type-R clutch and pressure plate and lighted Spoon flywheel. The TODA is completely aftermarket and top quality.

if those are your two choices - go with the cheaper one.

I have the spoon clutch and flywheel in my car.

with 210+ whp - the spoon holds fine.

Why not consider thr stock R clutch with a Light weight FW, such as Comptech?

I just installed the TODA clutch and flywheel last week and it is fabulous. The clutch is only slightly firmer pedal feel than stock, but the engagement path is short on the clutch so you get a real nice feel to it.

The flywheel is a HUGE improvement over stock. The car feels eager to jump and can give me revs (either up or down) exactly when I want them. Out of corners the car leaps up the rev range now rather than a slow march - I never realized how much waiting around I was doing with the old flywheel.

Rev matching is easy with the new flywheel and I feel much more connected to the car than I was previously. I attribute this to the fact that I now have more direct and instantaneous control over engine revs. The car just keeps asking for more rather than pausing at times like it used to seem to do.

I used to have the TODA Clutch and flywheel. the flywheel was a great upgrade, it reved higher quicker. the clutch pedal for me felt stiff at first, then became like stock. the problem I have with these 2 products is this: my TODA clutch AND flywheel were done adter 6000 miles. the clutch was finished, no more grip and the flywheel had multiple hairline cracks in it. since it was not an aluminium flywheel, I couldn't resurface it.

for those 6000 miles, the product was great, but I felt that it wasn't worth what I paid for. just my opinion, hope this helps.
