exedy street clutch is basically the same as stock, if not exactly the same.

go with whichever is less expensive imo.

mine came from a shop in detroit, so that won't help you much, sorry ;)

ACT is the way to go. Better than the Exedy, IMO.

How is it better when most of the parts used are sub-contracted through exedy... just like all the other clutch manufacters.

Just about everyone I know that has had the Exedy Stage 1 clutch has been unhappy with it, myself included. I have not heard a bad thing about the ACT equivalent, everyone I have talked to that has it loves it.

FYI, my opinion means absolutely JACK. Take it for what it's worth.

I have the exedy stage 1 and the exedy flywheel, I like it. No problems so far. Paid 1200 bucks parts & install over at precision tuning in brick twp. Difference no, well with the flywheel yes. What do these people not like about the exedy?
