He rapidly depleted one of those cheap Exedy clutches in a stock VE, IIRC.

Buy an OEM B15 disc and forget about it for the next 100,000 miles (like I have done).

Ever go with that Exedy kit?

Just saw this... and yes, that clutch is not for any sort of performance oriented driving. Was not up the task of occasional hard driving on a ~180whp p10, it never broke or anything but it did not like heat or high rpm operation.

The b15 disk is definitely a better choice for DD and some hard driving. I would be remiss in my duties if I did not share how my b15 disk ended though...

results not typical:

Looks like your springs were about to go anyway. Typical, in my experience.

No splines, that takes some work to do.

I ran the exedy clutch for awhile and it was ok. When i went ve i did the JWT PP with the B15 disk and it is a much better setup.

Had exedy stage 2 in my DE w/ bolt ons, no complaints, 60k trouble free miles. I say go for it

The setup in the link is a stage zero, stock replacement, not to be used for spirited driving type clutch though... trust me

Decided to go for the Exedy kit instead. The G-Spec order wasn't going through because the company is traveling or something.

I had a VE in a B15 and P11. The stock B15 disc holds well enough and I didn't have spring problems. I have had spring problems with every "B15" disc bought since. Even ones saying they are made in Japan. None seemed to be real Exedy OEM replacements.

What the knock offs like Valeo don't take into consideration is the extra torque the B15 tranny makes. Compared to all the other years of the sr20 they make discs for. It is harder on the disc springs and input shaft bearings. Only the true OEM parts will do. The P11 keeps the wheels 90 degrees to the road, so even a stock sr20 with decent bolt ons and stock computer can make enough torque with the stock '99 tranny to tear out clutch springs on cheap "OEM" discs. Discs barely made to "meet" OEM specs, definitely not "exceeding" OEM specs.

My JWT with "B15" disc in my VE'd g20... The PP still wore a groove from the throwout bearing and felt like crap after a while. You know, when the clutch sticks near the floor because the groove worn in the PP tines? Cheap metal? My stock B15 PP didn't wear in half the time all the replacements, even JWT, do.
