I've got 78k plus on my 04. My clutch is toast. I'm looking to pull it in the next month or so.
the act is probably what I'll run. The EXEDY stage two is a really nice clutch as well. They make our stock clutches.
I'd say you'll be very happy with that clutch.

I have a 2002 sedan and so far im at 95,000 miles w/ no problems (knock on wood). That's also with my fiance constantly slipping and dragging the clutch (im teaching her slowly how not to do that) :/
as soon as this clutch goes I will prolly get an Exedy S2 as suggested above...

65000 on mine. just changed on Thursday, still had life in it but would slip from time to time.
Have the Exedy organic clutch with the ACT Street lite flywheel. good combo, feels good, pedal feels about the same as stock.

I have a Stage 1 ACT clutch in my car and it was put in at about 90k miles. The stage 1 clutch is great - grabs hard, feels nice. I don't know why some people say the ACT clutch is a tranny killer; it's all about how you drive.

I would get misfire on cylinder 3 cell codes after i got this setup and mike at gruppe-s said that it is normal for a lightened flywheel on a subaru to get these cells.
If i ever get another clutch i would go with the stock one. just for the fact that is my everyday driver. IMO

My Stage 2 02 sedan has 97k and the clutch is still holding strong. The car has been stage 2 for around 65k and has seen quite a few auto-x events and track days (no drag).
When it goes out I plan on installing another oe clutch so I don’t put any additional stress on the tranny. I’d rather burn clutch than eat my tranny.
