    Car: 2007 Subaru Impreza STi Limited SWP 6MT
    Pertinent Modifications: None.

    Hey folks, long time owner but haven't posted for a long time...

    My '07 STi Limited has a clutch that has started slipping. Was going to have RS Motors replace but looking for suggested replacement options. Daily driver, all street use.

    Heard a lot of good things about "South Bend Stage 2 Endurance Clutch" or the "daily" variant, thoughts on that or other options? Resurface OEM flywheel or replace?

    Noob here, please be gentle.

    Exedy Stage 1 full face. If your flywheel is still good have it resurfaced.

    If you are on stock power, why not stick with a stock clutch?

    Save a few hundred bucks and go with an oem exedy kit like Josh said. Should be like $3-400 for everything minus labor (compared to 6-700 for the southbend clutch kit).

    I have 45,000 miles on a Competition Clutch stage 2 with a Fidanza flywheel and still going strong.

    I put in a low mileage used sti clutch in my old wrx and had no issues with it for over 100k with with over sti power levels. The 15 clutch is probably the same. It's a exedy
