Exedy Clutch reviews?

SO I'm getting ready to have installed an Exedy Stage 1 Clutch with 06-07 OEM WRX Flywheel, and I've ran the hell out of the searches but no reviews of anyone running it, and saying how it is. All I've found is ACT HD and SPECS but none of Exedy. Soo anyone running this setup? Please no ACT/SPEC setups, I want info on Exedy. Thanks.

Anyone?

Bump, How's the setup, chatter, engagement, ect?

I think Excedy stage 1 isn't rated very high as far as clamping force. If your modified you'd be better off getting something else. The ACT HD clutch (420ft./lbs.) w/ OEM '06 WRX flywheel is a very nice combo. Drives nearly identical to stock.

That's what I'm gathering from reading up on it. I'm goin to IAG Monday to get the Exedy put in. I'm slipping in 3rd-5th and sometimes in second and I need it fixed ASAP. I think I'm just goin to go with Exedy and later down the road go with the ACT, now that being said, do I have to replace the 06 WRX Fly again?

^ are you mod'd? Why not just the ACT and be done?

sounds like he already bought the Exedy

Yea I kinda did, I'm stupid, I KNOW! But it's the only thing I had readily available at such a short notice. I've read up on it and the consensus is a 35-45% increase over stock so, around 340Ibs-Ft rating, which isn't bad considering I'm only stage 1, right?

ive been thinking about going with the exedy stg 1 clutch as well. im not sure if you need the 06/07 wrx flywheel but the exedy kit is significantly cheaper than ACT if your not heavily modified or plan to be in the future

when is it being installed?

Exedy is quality OEM clutch manufacturer. Should work well for you. Stock STI clutch is made by Exedy.

This Monday, and I'm not really modded yet Just stage 1 and I have all the parts for stage 2 but that's waiting, wedding, and the wifey would have my baby maker if I worked on the car now, she pretty much took my right nut because of the clutch, so I'm thinkin this isn't that bad. Thanks all for the input, it's hard to find anything about it, but I'll be sure to post after install and write a small review. I didn't know about Exedy being the maker of the STI's OEM clutch, learn something everyday. Thanks again.

I got the excedy stage 1 clutch after my stock clutch was in a very short amount of time fatigued by the addition of stage 2, It has very smooth similar to stock engagement, The pedal feel is a little tighter too especially when new, after about 1k miles it will start feeling pretty much like stock just with alot more confidence that its ganna hold the power down. P.S got the act flywheel with it aswell.

I have an Exedy Stage 1 clutch and Lightweight Flywheel too. Not installed right now, but they will be in a few days. I have a friend with a Civic that has a stage 1 organic from Exedy and I really liked the feel of it, so I went with a known quantity. I'm sure they will work out fine.

Thanks, I was looking for something like this. I'm not trying to need a hydraulic leg/piston to be able to push the clutch in, something similar to the stock engagement point, but still grab during hard shifting. I'm actually on my way to go get it point in now
