Aftermarket Clutch Recs?

[Dan_E26]

Hey all,

Still loving my 2023 SI so far. About 5,000 miles on it at the time of writing this. While I have no reason to believe my clutch is going out (it locks up hard enough to buck the whole car even when I shift pretty mildly) I've been considering a clutch upgrade somewhere down the line as I've heard all about how wimpy the stock clutches are. Intuitively, I was thinking maybe an Exedy Stage 0/Stage 1 clutch because that's OEM kit for the FK8 Type R, but I'm open to other opinions.

For what it's worth, I do not plan on doing any type of power mods, nor do I ever floor the car from low RPMs. This clutch upgrade would be done when the car is out of warranty and as purely a "peace of mind" upgrade

Best option is a rv6 type r retro flywheel with the exedy stage 0 clutch. We have been running this type of clutch on our shop car 2 years and flawless. No chatter, oem feel and holds power well. You need a setup we have in stock www.axionind.com

Do you know by any chance if the kzCMC for the 10th gen will fit the 11th gen?

I would just get the Sirimoto CMC kit. comes with an all new Willwood CMC and stainless clutch line.

MOst CMC are all universal its the other lines from it that arent the same. Just get one thats for the car so you have no issues. We are still running the stock one with no issues at all

What about when you upgrade the clutch which is something I plan on doing soon.

That should be one of the first mods on these cars. Best to go with RV6 retro flywheel and exedy stage 0 clutch

No need for a modified CMC?

Agreed. Also highly agree with the RV6 retro recommendations above for the clutch kit. Stage 0.

Why stage 0?

Stage 0 will hold anything that 99.99999% of people with a 1.5T can throw at it. Its the factory Type R clutch. Our FL5 with this clutch currently makes 527whp/430 ft lbs. The biggest reason to not get a stage 1 or stage 2 clutch with this kit is that you will likely encounter shift lockout at high RPM.

Makes sense. Will definitely be looking into this soon. Thanks

I have a 10th gen si with most bolt on with 145k miles on original clutch. 4 track days and some canyon driving. So I think your clutch depend on how you drive it.
