Exedy Stage 1 Clutch Kit - 1990-1993 Acura Integra (DA)
If you want a real clutch upgrade for your DA Integra that doesn't ruin daily driving, the Exedy Stage 1 kit is the sweet spot. It's built for owners who actually drive their cars, street miles during the week, canyon runs on the weekend, and the occasional track or autocross day. Think OEM-plus with more bite, not an on/off race setup.
Pick The Right Year Range
This clutch comes in two versions, one for each half of the DA run, so match yours to your car before ordering:
- EXE-08804 fits the 1990-1991 Integra (GS, LS, RS).
- EXE-08800A fits the 1992-1993 Integra (GS, GS-R, LS, RS).
The two aren't interchangeable, so confirm your year range before you buy.
Organic Disc And Higher Clamp Load
The kit pairs a high-friction ultra-fiber organic disc with a higher-clamp-load pressure plate, so it holds more power and abuse than stock without turning your left leg into a workout. The organic material handles heat far better than a stock disc, which matters when you're doing repeated pulls or laps and don't want the clutch to go soft or slip, and it resists slippage and burst at high RPM for cleaner, more consistent grabs when you're hard on it.
Streetable Pedal And Engagement
Pedal effort stays close to stock, just a touch firmer from the added clamp load. The sprung center hub in the disc takes the edge off drivetrain shock, so you don't get a nasty bang every time you drop the clutch and you can daily it without the harsh engagement of a race disc. It's the balance that lets this work as a street clutch that still holds up when you use the power.
40% More Clamping Force
Exedy rates the pressure plate at roughly 40% more clamping force than the standard unit, which translates to more torque capacity for your bolt-ons, tune, or a mild build. It won't tap out the moment you start actually using the power, but it stays streetable doing it.
SFI 1.1 Certified
The kit carries SFI 1.1 certification, so it's approved and legal for many racing series that require certified clutch components. If your series needs it, this checks that box, and even if it doesn't, the certification reflects the hardware's strength.

Fitment
Fits the 1990-1993 Acura Integra (DA). Select your year range: 1990-1991 (EXE-08804, GS/LS/RS) or 1992-1993 (EXE-08800A, GS/GS-R/LS/RS). Confirm which you have before ordering, since the two use different kits.
If you're building a DA that has to commute during the week and play on the weekend, this Exedy Stage 1 is exactly that middle ground: more bite, more torque capacity, and solid heat resistance, without turning the car into a chore to drive. Just pick the right year-range SKU and match it to your build.
