I bought a 7lb fidanza clutch off of ebay for $140 brand new (figure in the fact that it save me $40 to have the stock one machined so net is $100). It's installed on a 1989 CRX HF with a freshly reringed D15B6 and a new 212mm stock clutch.
IMO the people that are saying that they have trouble with the clutch don't have very good clutch control. Yeah it takes a little getting use to, but some people may be exagerating a little. If I can drive mine smoothly with 62hp, you should have no problem. Quote:

I would also like to add that my car actually shifts smoother with the 7lb because with less weight you don't have to be as careful to rev match, especially on the downshift.
And I'm not getting any clutch chatter or any of that with mine

Two of the flywheels I measured were from 88 CRX's. Those, and the 94 EX and 88 Std all weighed the same. My brother's 93 CX was the one that was 15lbs, and the Accord flywheel I weighed came out of my 90 Accord LX.
I too am running a Fidanza flywheel(I thought it was 8lbs at first but had got it confused with my Accord; it's 7lbs). How smooth shifting is really depends on the clutch. I have no problems since I'm using an Exedy oem repclacement. With that said, it's still easier for me to drive smoothly with a heavier flywheel.

Yeah, I think that 90% of people here are running more clutch than they need, so that's probably most of the issue.
I read a thread not too long ago where a guy was looking to buy a clutch and everyone said stage 2, but he bought a stage 3...wtf? Stock/lightly modified engine=stock clutch!!

Im pretty sure i have a stage 1 clutch, the guy told me is has a "heavier duty clutch", this is what happens when you buy a used car as we all know, never know 100%.
But i can tell it is cause i have used stock cars including a civic and my clutch is noticeably shorter and stiffer. I had trouble driving my friends Z24 cavalier because the clutch was soo long and i have a short throw.

Generally speaking, if someone says "heavier duty clutch", that doesn't necessarily mean the flywheel was changed or the weight was increased or even decreased. That only means that the pressure plate has been upgraded with one of more clamping force, or possibly a segmented clutch disc.
- Just saying incase you didn't know.
