Performance clutch vs OEM? Pros and cons please? - 1

So the time came for me to replace the clutch in my 1995 honda civic I brought it to a guy my family knows who does our cars for a low price and doesn't cut corners but he asked if I wanted a performance clutch I asked if they're more durable than oem and he saI'd yes so I said sure why not. I heard it makes the clutch pedal a little harder to press down, but I think I can handle it. I rarely drive in stop and go traffic so hopefully its not too bad. But pros and cons of Performance clutch vs oem style?

The clutch engagement may be less smooth that the original, or not. It may last longer than the original but that lasted 22 years so why pay more? I would have bought a standard clutch.

It's a bit late to be asking this, isn't it? Under normal circumstances, a regular clutch will last 80-100k miles, maybe more. You only need a performance clutch if you are going to be racing your car, or if you plan on driving the hell out of it.

A performance clutch is going to be harder on your leg. Unless you are power modding the car, just use an OEM one.

So, from 1995 the OEM clutch was OK. You think a better clutch is worth it? Performance clutches are better if you intend to drag race. Instead of that, why not make sure the rear main engine seal, flywheel pilot bearing and throwout bearing are replaced in this job.
