Default Exedy clutches..

Hey guys i'm after a heavy duty clutch for my MY00 5 speed that my misses uses as a daily as well as being something I like using at the drags and track fairly often.

Has anyone used the heavy duty cushion button kit from exedy? (7123hcdb)
Is there a benefit using this clutch over a heavy duty organic?

I found some posts from 5 years ago or so saying the HDCB is bad news for a stock box. Maybe the organic is the way to go.

If you are running a stock GC8 5 speed and are launching it at the drags chances are the box will fail.

Yeah its no doubt gonna happen one day. I'll put a 6 speed in when that happens. Its far from stock so its already putting pressure on the box

Full face organic is what you want.

Button clutches suit one car and one car only.. old Mazda rotaries.

A full face organic as mentioned should fit the bill perfectly. My Exedy Sports Tuff works really well IMHO.

I ran a 3 puck brass clutch for 8 years on a 5 speed and didn't bust the gearbox, full face organics are pussies :-)
