Depending on how high your looking...

I'm using a stock WRX clutch and lightweight flywheel... i love it... Holds power great, not that I'm making tons of power but definitely more than stock. and its not stiff, just fine for traffic. and they can be had for dirt cheap.

Ditto, Stock WRX clutch makes a great cheap upgrade. Most likely good for 250bhp or 220whp.

In fact, I, personally, would go so far as to say never buy a EJ22T clutch. Always buy a WRX clutch. If you need more than a stock WRX clutch, get a WRX upgrade clutch.

What are your power goals for the car? Get something that is adequate for your goals.



I like my Exedy Hyper Single, but that might be a bit nasty to a SS 5mt.

if your not planning on makeing a lot of power then the wrx clutch works great from my experience.

in my car im running a ACT six puck with a Heavy duty PP and its not fun in traffic. it hurts my mid back and foot, if i drive the car alot in one day. but my car is far from stock.

NO!!!
That has a cable style clutch... go for a clutch and flywheel made for an RS... or just OEM replacement... you'll just burn the tires... not as much on the clutch... I know... I had one... Awesome burnouts! lol but they were only one-wheeled lol.
