why do you want a stage 2?
What mods do you have to your car?

I have always run Exedy and had good expierences. I think F1 is a lower tier company, and I have never even heard of the other ones.

exedy, ACT, clutchmasters and a few others are what I would choose from.

But I am with crispin, does your car need a stage two?

Well I don't have many mods but I rather get something good then replace with something stock . Is there any other brands you guys might know of?! I've never had to replace a clutch before so I aint too familiar with what's best . I have some other brand I seen but I don't know if that's what I want

You have never driven a car without a lot of HP that has a modified clutch.
It is stupid - not the good kind of stupid either.
You lose the ability to smoothly and easily drive.
Racing clutches are for race cars.
There is nothing at all wrong with the stock clutch for our cars.
You car will not be 1 second faster with a "stage 2" type of clutch.

LUK for a stock set up will be fine. Highly suggest a new flywheel as well, yes you can have the old one "re-surfaced" but the cost of a new one that has the OE thickness....not much of a choice IMO.

Also, with everything out (flywheel included) you will be looking right at the rear main seal........want to go there again to replace a leaking seal......or have a leaking seal ruin a good clutch disc....again, just me

I think that excedy is the OEM manufacturer of honda clutches. I would stick with the oem grade. I never abused my clutch and the original lasted to 180K miles on my 95 accord.

I have an Exedy 3puck stage 2. Everything is stock now. I had bought it because of my turbo setup but I ended up making my car stock. Now, I cant wait till I get a new clutch. I just want something smoooth back. Exedy is amazing, I have had the clutch for almost a year now. Just make sure you DO NOT BUY FROM ECLUTCHMASTERS. Their crap is basically crap. They are not the same company as Clutch Masters.

I got my clutch kit for 500.
