Depends on your clutch needs. If you know how to drive a MT properly and don't need to put a lot of stress on the clutch (i.e. drag strip launches), then the OEM clutch is plenty of clutch. I replaced the CSC at 50K miles and didn't bother with the clutch. Over 100K miles now and the OEM clutch is still in good shape. In fact, the next time I drop the transmission will be to replace the Z1 CSCEK with ZSpeed's CMAK - I will go ahead and replace the clutch at the same time for convenience.

This is a good example of why the change to the Exedy clutch means nothing. The clutch plate was never the issue.
