changing clutch but....
Going to change my clutch, and was going to buy an ACT street clutch.
obviously, I'm going to get a new throwout bearing, and a new disc, but do i need to get a new pressure plate?
The car has 92k miles on it, and I don't really drive it hard anymore, and am pretty much using it as a daily driver.
The only reason that the pressure plate is an issue, is that I live in Hawaii, and shipping the pressure plate in costs $$$$. The last few clutches I did in other cars, I got the disc only.

How much power are you pushing? You would probably be ok just changing the disk depending on the condition of the flywheel and pressure plate.
Why are you changing the clutch? Is it slipping? If so, and you have been driving it for a while with it slipping, you could have warped the pressure plate or the flywheel depending on your driving habits.

I'm not pushing that much more than stock, and I'd rather spend a few hundred for a clutch, and TOB , especially since I have to take it somewhere to get it done. I don't have a garage, so changing it myself is not really in the equation.
so... I"m guessing that a street act clutch will go ok w/ a stock pressure plate...

If you buy the ACT kit, it will come with the pressure plate, disc, throw out bearing and alignment tool. Its worth it, and I hear alot of mix opinions about re-using the pressure plate.

I would buy a stock clutch, but I'm not even going to bother asking the stealership how much they cost.

they charge ~$900 @ the stealership LoL!!! Nivez (THE-EVO) bought one, then couldnt use it because of the power he is making. You say you have 92k on the car... How many times have you changed the pressure plate??? Just some $.02 better to spend $600 than replacing transmission parts because the Pressure plate stuck...

One of the reasons why I'm thinking of NOT changing the pressure plate.... is cause, I'm thinking of getting a newer car...
I have twin girls, and lots of little things are starting to go wrong.
example.... ac condensor is clogged internally.... now, getting a new one will cost me $200, and it's not that hard to change,,,, but the ac still works.... until it gets super hot (i.e. traffic) so you can see, that I'm not exactly comfortable driving the evo, if the ac goes out, and I have the 2 twins in the car.
so, the evo is just for now, since I enjoy not having a car payment, and trying to just milk the car for all it's worth. Don't get me wrong, I love the car, but it feels like it's getting smaller, and smaller every day...

although, I wonder how much shipping would be to Hawaii...
I am willing to do both, but don't need a true stage 2-3 clutch, but just a replacement for stock.
PM me if you would like to move forward, the CC Stage 2 will be great for a mildly modified car looking for stock like driveability characteristics!
