Excedy HD is my go-to. Extra clamping force, no massive change in drive ability, reasonable price.

Pros: extra clamping force
Cons: no massive change

Every element I test drove had a heavy mushy clutch. The throw out bearing on mine went before the clutch, then replaced with an exedy oem kit and it feels way better.

Pros: feels way better
Cons: heavy mushy clutch
Vehicle: Honda Element

I just had the clutch replaced this week with the Exedy FJK1005 OEM kit. Since yesterday I have noticed a consistent humming sound whenever the vehicle is decelerating/coasting in gear. This goes away when the throttle is engaged and I accelerate. It's a very consistent low bassy hum, no rattle or metallic clanking. Only happens when in gear and throttle not engaged. I've read that the Exedy dampers in the clutch disc don't block as much sound as the OEM Subaru ones. Besides this the actual function of the clutch is phenomenal and significantly improved from the old worn one. New Exedy flywheel as well.

Pros: phenomenal function, significantly improved
Cons: consistent humming sound, low bassy hum
Vehicle: Subaru BRZ
Part number: FJK1005

Also it’s an Exedy oem replacement kit. To be more specific, I know some travel is normal without the slave installed. The issue is that the fork and bearing don’t even make contact with the pressure plate until the slave is almost completely extended.

The Valeo clutch kit is absolute garbage. It will make the car rattle and vibrate like crazy. Get a FX250 Kevlar clutch with a steel single mass flywheel from clutch masters. A lot less noise, lasts a lot longer.

Pros: less noise, lasts longer
Cons: absolute garbage, rattle and vibrate
Vehicle: BMW
