good clutch for 5MT?

i was wondering what a good clutch for an 04 wrx 5mt. i want something with a little more meat than stock, but i don't want it to break my tranny. anyone have any good experiences with aftermarket clutches and the wrx 5 speed?

if you wore out a clutch on an 04, maybe you need to rethink your driving style. If it's a preemptive move, i hope youre aware that replacing a clutch involves pulling the engine.

The stock clutch is the most tranny friendly. Every other option will transmit more shock load to your gears. Want more meat? Prepare for the consequences.

If you're going to upgrade your clutch and not your tranny, I'd stick with an organic clutch. It'll be alittle easier on it.

stock clutch can hold a 110mph trap. that's a good deal over 300+ whp. do you have that much?

if you are after a clutch that is easy to drive, will hold a bit more power than stock, but not be brutal on your gears, the Exedy Sport is the best option out there
