Exedy GlobalParts (formerly Daikin Clutch USA) Replacement Clutch Kits are top of the line, brand new OEM Clutch Kits, built specifically for your vehicle. The stock clutch can hold a fair amount of power and will be fine with the mods that you have. It's great way to replace the clutch at a very reasonable price. I can do the Exedy Replacement clutch for $166.02 plus shipping.

If however, you'd like something slightly more aggressive but without straying too far away from the stock clutch feel, the Exedy Stage 1 is a great choice as well. It can handle more power and more abuse and is a nice upgrade over stock. I can do that for $293 shipped to the Continental 48 U.S.

Exedy is going to cost less then Honda. Daikin was the company that made the stock clutches for Honda. It may have been branded Honda but Daikin made it. Exedy bought out Daikin and now make stocks replacement clutches for more than a few vehicles. It is going to have the same specs as the Honda clutch and may even be the same exact thing. I've never personally asked Honda who makes their clutch, nor have we ever ordered a stock SI clutch from Honda. We always get the Exedy OEM replacement.
