question on clutches.

i pull trailers behind my car (02 civic si) and my stock clutch is slipping. i was wondering if a stage 2 or 3 would be better for pulling trailers. i mean if their good for more horsepower wouldnt they be better for hauling? also if i upgraded would there be anything esle id need to look out for?
i still dont know if i want to do this cause i really want a truck but cant afford it yet. dont know what im gonna do.

Re: question on clutches.

yeah and upgraded clutch would help a little bit but cars have a low rating for towing capacity so if you exceed that weight limit any clutch will slip
