Help Choicing Clutch
What clutch do u guys recommend to replace the oem? I have 250,000km and torn between Sachs, Exedy, Luk, Beck and Arnley. Also do u recommend replacing the flywheel, resurfacing it or just using some emery cloth if it doesn't have any major scatches or deep grooves in it?

Re: Help Choicing Clutch
Exedy OEM replacement will do you fine. It'll be much cheaper than a dealership.
Mikey, I'm assuming you mean "stock replacement, but not necessarily a stock Honda OEM clutch," right? Otherwise, I'd have to disagree. That would be like saying OEM brake pads > everything else.

Go with Exedy OE replacement.
If the flywheel can be resurfaced then it should be. If its beyond resurfacing then replace. Great time to put in a lightweight flywheel!

I know its generally rule of thumb to get flywheel resurfaced upon clutch replacement. I'm at 250,000km and if the flywheel doesn't have any visible groves or deep scratches is it still required to get it resurfaced? I was just going to clean it up with emery cloth if it didn't look too bad....

never heard of those two brands 
As far as the resurfacing goes, though...
I'd take it to a shop to get it looked at, at the very least. They'll tell you if they need to resurface it or not. Worst case scenario, they resurface it and it's another $30 out of your pocket.

Sachs is the same company as ZF, the transmission manufacturer... German, so if it's made in Germany, you can bet it conforms to TÜV standard, which insures you get pretty well-engineered parts, if not always cheap. ... however I'd make sure it's the same Sachs before plunking down your grip. 
LuK is also a German company, so if made in Germany, TÜV applies (not if it's made elsewhere, though). No idea on fitment... but in general German parts go best with German cars. May need to seek a more firsthand bit of advice though.
