I run a CM stage 3 in my ITR, very happy with it. In my 95 Talon Tsi Awd, I run an ACT 2600, it chatters , but grabs like a MF

So is the clutchmaster, we weighed mine in at 7.4lbs on our scale. As far as clutch goes, I have an Exedy, and so far have been pretty happy with it. In fact, I even figured out the whole problem with the clutch adjustment problem everybody seemed to have with exedy clutches. The Exedy clutch comes with a factory throwout bearing, but it's for a GS-R not an ITR, so if you use a factory ITR throwout bearing, you don't need to adjust anything.
As far as Spoon, Toda, Mugen, and honda OEM, all of their clutches are manufactured by a company called Dakin Clutch, who also coincidentaly manufactures Exedy, if you look on all the different tunner website, as compare the pressur plates and disks, you'll notice they are all the same......Go figure. In any case, as far as clutches go, the one that I had that I liked the most was a clutchmaster FX100, it had nice light pedal pressure, and griped just fine, but I would suggest to go with the carbon kevlar version rather than the organic street disk. That being said, I'm currently using an Exedy Clutch that so far I like even more.
Hey, Trey, what are your complaints with the Exedy disk, so I know what to expect later???? You already got me worying......

My complaint is exactly what you have said about adjustment. Except my car didn't need adjustment until a few hundred miles ago. Then all of a sudden the clutch is catching at the top, won't down shift at RPMs and will not always go into gear without grinding. I will be putting the old OEM clutch back in tomorrow and will report back what the damage was. Then you can assess things for your self.
just as an FYI I have the Exedy organic street disc and I have heard their more expsensive stuff is nicer. Just the same they lost my business.
