Im looking at getting an upgraded clutch for my n/a for just a little more holding power. Currently its a ej22t on n/a trans and clutch and it slips around 13psi every once in a while.
I would like to know where to find them (ebay was full of turbo kits) and suggestions other than just a stage one. Im not looking at beating the crap out of it, just holding the power.
On here people say an upgraded pp with a stock disc is a bad idea, but any other application i build or work on its a good thing.
So is an upgraded disc better than an upgraded pp with a stock disc? Thanks
Where to find n/a clutch kits

Most mild clutch upgrades are stock (or stock-equivalent) discs with stiffer pressure plates.
I don't think people are saying it's bad to mix a stock disc with a stiffer pressure plate -- they're just advising against uprated clutches in general because of the risk of blowing your transmission. Correct me if I'm wrong.
They're usually talking about turbo models though. NA clutches aren't as strong as turbo clutches to begin with, so it might make sense to upgrade. Certainly if your clutch is slipping you need to replace it. If your clutch is old, you might be fine just using a new stock NA clutch though.
You're gonna want to replace the clutch disc and pressure plate both, so I'd say that if you're upgrading, get an upgrade kit and don't worry about what makes it uprated. I believe you should be able to use any kit meant for a newer non-turbo model, so kits sold for RSes ought to do the trick.

Its a fairly new clutch, but its for an na.
Ive noticed they say the application is different between the 89+ legacys, and rs' etc. But even the turbo models have the same disc size from their statements "225mm"
I know the turbo transmissions use a push style while the n/a's use pull styles so the pp are different.
So in other words, i can use a kit for all pre 00 n/a's?
