Default New clutch

The clutch on my STI was pretty high when I bought it and after nearly a year of ownership I think it's about time I thought about replacing it. I havnt noticed it slip, but the bite is very high now.

Thought I would ask for recommendations on which one to get? Currently running 305bhp and may look to try and squeeze a little more out of her in the not too distant future, but no plans to go over the 350 mark I suspect.

Std 6spd clutch is very capable and refined in general if you want something with a higher headroom then the 'pink box' Exedy or the more recent RTS kits are very cost effective

What are the recommended power limits for the standard 6spd? If there's no real benefit in upgrading then it may b sensible to go standard as I'm guessing it's probably a little more friendly for everyday road use.

No idea what clutch it has now but it feels a little aggressive already and not sure I would want anything harsher.

As Alyn says, Exedy Pink box will give a bit more clamp load - I also had an AP racing clutch on mine for a while which was a lovely feeling clutch but a bit much for your needs.

Cheers for the responses guys, i'll check out the Pink and Standard then. Now I need to try and get her booked in with Dan... suspect it may be a while before he can slot me in so I should have plenty of time to make my mind up

I'm guessing prices will be on your website Alyn?
