OEM? Or a reputable aftermarket brands like Fidanza, Exedy or Valeo. I've heard Valeo's are pretty good and long lasting. My mate just put one in his 4A-GE corolla.

I have the EXEDY Clutch and pressure plate and it is working great for over 40k now... It will last a lot longer depending on driving style.

I don't remember which catalog he was looking at the speedshop, but he told me he had 3 different clutch kits...

OEM
Stage 1: 25% more power handling
Stage 3:90% more power handling

I don't remember what company it was, but he also told me they where all round clutches, no pucks here.

The higher the stage, the 'heavier' the clutch will be, making it a pain during traffic. Also, starts will not be as smooth. I'd probably go as high as a stage 1 for a stock Camry, and that's if you're dead set on getting it. Each to their own though.

^ the man speaks the truth

if my car wasn't modified the way that it was, I would not want to deal with my stage3 spec
but since it is the way that it is, I couldn't live without it at this point

:

and I'd go with an oem exedy or stage 1 exedy most likely in your case

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33730 is this good enough also is this price reasonable???

***Eye8Pussies*** · 06-15-2009, 10:39 PM

blackhawk · 06-16-2009, 08:43 AM

good question it does not say but i also saw this one f1 racing dont know how credible they are but it cheaper too http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/F1-RA...4506.m20.l1116 just started looking up reviews on the seems to be okay thus far

i personally don't see hte point of going with a no name brand when a brand name one will only cost you a hundred bucks more

I agree totally, it is not like it is a set of rims and easily changed either FYI

Whatever you get, don't get the OEM kit from the dealer, they are rebuilt, and they are garbage. Mine's been vibrating at the tip of the stroke since it's installed, and now after 45k,mostly highway, it just broke. Foot down, a couple of clicks, now it's chattering like crazy...

I like the Exedy on my MR2, very smooth, very easy.
