Time for a clutch?!

Okay so i have my 05 wrx motor out and figured i might as well do the clutch, plus its on its way out anyway. So basically i just want to ask what a good replacement would be. I was thinking the Exedy Stock Replacement but ive heard good and bad reviews. Can someone tell me there experience with one?
Also i found that clutch kit for 172 online....is that right? Seems kind of low to me, i just wanna make sure its legit.

I would rather go buy a stocker i just cant afford it at the moment (just bought a used ej20)....so would i be okay with this clutch? Full TB, Cobb Intake, stage 2 tune, UP. (Protune in the near future and maybe a turbo swap havent decided yet). Any advice is appreciated, sorry for the rant

Oem is just fine. Going up in clutch is really only needed if your gonna make more power very soon but why burn thru a nice clutch over the next years if your not making the power to need it? I rock OEM on my overly stage 2 wrx and its just fine expecially during autox

sweet thanks. Im going to go with the exedy oem replacement. 172 shipped you cant beat that. Hopefully the chatter wont be bad and there wont be any slippage.

Exedy is the OE supplier of Subaru clutches. Does the $172 unit come with the pressure plate and throwout bearing? If so it's a good deal.

Do you guys know if a flywheel is recommended with a new clutch? Or is resurfacing a flywheel a better idea?

Resurface, or go lightweight!
