I need to replace my OEM clutch so I was thinking to this two:
- http://www.heeltoeauto.com/clutchmasters-stage-1-clutch-kit-04-08-cl9-tsx-cl7-accord-euror-mt-08-038-hd00-sf.1.html
or
- http://www.heeltoeauto.com/maintenance-part-clutch-kit-with-flywheel-oe-replacement-exedy-2004-2008-acura-tsx-cl9.html

But not sure what to choose , one is a Clutchmaster and the other one is an Exedy clutch + flywheel (tough I don't need a new flywheel) ... by the way my car is stock .

Is the Acura TSX clutch the same like ours Euro CL9 ?

Any idea what to choose ?
Or if you have any other recommendations ?
 
but is the flywheel the same ? I've heard something like EDM Accord is heavier than the TSX one , anyone know anything about this ?
 
Drop Oz a pm. He's pretty clued up with the JDM scene
 
Thanks I'll ask Oz.
 
Not too sure if the tsx has a lighter flywheel, thats something i've not heard before. As for fitment you'll be fine as long as its for the CL9 K24. Since your car is stock you'd be better off going for a new oem clutch kit, its lasted this far hasn't it, plus do you really need the extra clamping force and slightly harder pedal, not to mention the extra cost?
 
the thing is the OEM clutch alone costs me almost like an aftermarket one + flywheel
so I've thought to take the opportunity to upgrade the flywheel also ...
 
Ah right, in that case go for an upgrade! Check out the prices of ACT clutch kits, they're good stuff too B)
 
Thanks mate, I will.
