Clutch Recommendations Please

I'm hoping you guys can give me good advice on a new clutch (maybe flywheel). Personal experience advice would be awesome!
I have to replace my clutch and I'm not sure which one to get.

Priorities: Reliability, torque, easy clutch pedal (easier to push down, not sure if that has anything to do witch clutch).
This is my daily driver, I never track and I barely ever push the car hard. Low end torque would be great if at all possible.

I am considering just getting OEM Honda again or the Exedy oem replacement kit.

Thanks for any help before I make my order!

Apparently Daikin / Exedy provided Honda with their OEM stuff. When mine went that’s what I bought (same driving style as you - although keep in mind that it’s the engine, not the clutch that determines torque). Here are the prices I got in Canada, you’ll get better deals down there. The one thing I’d advise is to look at individual items vice the kit; from the same distributor you may get the same parts at a better price - I certainly did. By the way Koyo is an excellent bearing.

As for the Flywheel, unless it’s completely glazed I wouldn’t do anything with it.

Manufacturer: DAIKIN
Part Number: W0133-1618700
Clutch Disc
List Price: CDN $177.99 Your Price:CDN $88.99

Manufacturer: DAIKIN
Part Number: W0133-1617840
Pressure Plate
List Price: CDN $250.99 Your Price: CDN $80.99

Manufacturer: KOYO
Part Number: W0133-1625202
Release Bearing
List Price: CDN $75.99 Your Price: CDN $34.99

Total cost of individual parts $204.97 without an alignment tool

Manufacturer: DAIKIN
Part Number: W0133-1602117
Clutch Kit (which includes the $3.50 alignment tool)
List Price: CDN $413.99 Your Price: CDN $287.99

Good luck.

Steve

Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I never got the email notifications.

I did price each of the parts which are basically the disc, pressure plate and bearing for oem but I found an exedy kit for only about $125 so I just went with that as Exedy is a very popular and good brand.

Now the only question is what else I should replace while I have this clutch open anyway just so I don't have to deal with any problems later on. I'm going to order the other bearings and possibly some other stuff I see.
