I had a new clutch fitted for $1100 all up..Usually half parts and half labour..
That's not bad. I'm located in Nelson and I've found a mechanic who used to work at Subaru so i'm going to ask him to do it. Just trying to figure out if I can source a good clutch for a better price. Probably use the current flywheel after skimming though

For either genuine or exedy clutch, how much should I put aside just for the parts?
I'm not planning on over powering my subie but won't be driving like a nana so standard clutch would do for me (goodbye heavy duty)

I met a guy in Nelson who used to work in Subaru and many people go to him for few jobs.
I'm planning to get a clutch job done from him so I'll let you know how it goes?
Also gotta ask if he wants his details on here cuz he seemed to be flatout at the moment tbh..

Welcome to the forums NOTURS
Im pretty sure they are 230mm.
If you are choosing between them it depends what you want it for, the Heavy Ceramic clutch kit has a higher clamp pressure which is useful if you are putting through more power but it would probably be a bit harder to drive, a bit more bitey, I think that how it works. If your just using it as daily and not adding huge power, you might as well get the other one. Im not too familiar with clutches so someone else will have to confirm (or probably deny) what im saying...
Thanks Dazz01. Clutch job labour doesn't come cheap so I'm trying to weigh out whats the best clutch to put in there.
Cheers for the input

5 speeds are normally significantly cheaper. i dont think drews does genuine clutches, but their clutches are fantastic
but the one that he is selling on Trademe is not I quote "fantastic"?

neither of em.
i STRONGLY recommend buying a genuine clutch through wingers (or your nearest subaru stealership)
failing that, ring drews automotive directly, mention clubsub. they have supported a LOT of club members recently and by all accounts they are a bloody nice clutch setup.
bear in mind that with a heavy duty clutch, if you tend to side step it quite violently, you can do damage to your thruust bearings. have seen a set of thrust bearings recently from a car that had a heavy duty clutch and a pretty violent life, it was VERY close to turning itself inside out.thanks for that reply. I'll ask Drew for a genuine one. Would you know how much wingers would charge for a genuine clutch for Version 8?

Hi, i'm a newbie to Subaru... planning to buy a WRX Turbo Version 8 within 2 weeks.
Just wondering what clutch it takes? is it 225mm or 230mm?
Trying to decide between these two:
