Need Clutch
Need to upgrade my clutch. Making about 210hp right now. Looking for ideas on what brands are good.

Clutchmasters is the only way to go. Even at Stage 4, it's nearly close to OEM pedal feel.
Exedy Stage 1 was way too stiff. I would go CM Stage 3, you won't regret it.

I second the Clutch masters...you get what you pay for.
I'm running a stage III with the 9lb flywheel Garm sells...you won't be disappointed.

You know exedy doesnt suck. I am all for supporting the vendors as I do all the time. But when money is getting tight you have to look out for your needs first. In this case it's out of my price range.

Considering your power level and budget I think Clutch Masters Stage 1 will work best for you.
Stage 3 is $110 more but keep in mind it also lasts 2-3 times longer on average which will save you money in the long term on clutches, flywheels, downtime and labor. |

Bingo...which is why I went with it, to save time/money in the long run. Not to mention the clutch feels spectacular, I drive in bumper to bumper LA traffic almost every week. My average work commute is 250 miles.

We called both companies.
CM Stage 1 70% increase holding capacity Stock is 120-140 TQ and CM Stage 1 is 180 TQ Spec Stage 1 15% increase holding capacity Stock is 120-140 TQ and Spec Stage 1 is 150-160 TQ Both manufacturers recommended you go for a Stage 3/4. Remember, we don't know the exact torque you're making when discussing this. So this is our "official" disclaimer, that we recommend more than a Stage 1. (have to say it) Clutchmasters supply OEM toyota throwout bearing vs. Spec sometimes use aftermarket Clutchmasters use steel backed plate vs. Spec use steel "lined" plate Clutchmasters use standard sprung clutch vs. Spec use "double" sprung clutch which can sometimes cause stiffer pedal feel.

So for those of us that have not gone FI, is the CM overkill? I'm looking to upgrade my clutch and flywheel when I drop in my frankenstien transmission, but likely won't be going FI for some time.
