I personally would not run a 2nd hand clutch.

X2 that. Plus OEM clutch is well capable if stg2 powers. And is easier on the 5mt trans.

Please give me a good reason you wouldn't run a second hand clutch if its in good condition, other than some girly nonsense about "it just doesn't feel right broz".....

....That said I'd probably recommend the OEM replacement as well if you're not pushing big power.

Because racecar.

but true, as long as it's in good condition. I ran the exedy replacement on my vf39 making 283/323. And it held totally fine. 20k+ miles.

Exactly, and when I took it out it was almost new. That's exactly my point - there's nothing wrong with second hand clutches as long as they're still mint and not overheated or abused.
