Hi, I have a 96 STI2 wagon and the clutch has just started to slip a little, only now & then but i want to get it sorted asap, my question is which clutch kit do i need? is it 225 or 230mm? And are the exedy kits any good? Iv seen some for just over £100.

thanks

ha ha
ive just changed mine
i got a exedy 230mm and i was given the wrong plate so had to re do the lob now its all done £160
sweet

 

so 225 or 230 mate?

cheers

 

Ive got an sti v1, they are the same and its 225 bit you can fit a 230 as a complete kit, i just went with 225 exeddy kit cost me £130.

 

its up to you on how much you want to spend,and if you are going to mod car a bit or if it is moded
if you get 230mm make sure the clutch plate no is fjd024u as the one in the kit they supplyed tightened up on the nuts not the fly wheel

 

the sub £200 Exedy is an OE replacement clutch, not an upgrade.

Are you running many mods? If so might be worth spending a little more and getting an uprated Exedy.

 

It has a decat & full stainless system,pipercross & running 1bar boost,im planning on getting an apexi power fc fitted in a few months so i will need a clutch that will cope with around 320bhp

This is what i was looking at

Do you not think that will be up to the job?

thanks

 

No.
IMHO fit an uprated clutch.

AP Organic or the Exedy uprated kit from API

It is too hard a job changing it all for the sake of more money.

It will be fit and forget, and the AP can take a lot of greif.
Mine has done over 140 of these:

Bob above has hit his clutch much harder still!

 

As above...get an uprated one.

I found Alyn @ AS Performance to be the best price after lots of shopping around.
