I think you're worrying for nothing, but if there nothing wrong with your stock clutch then just leave it. RPM is just PBR anyways I think.

if you are getting a new clutch, get a daikin clutch... they are great... Rollin and I have them... I have the smaller EA flywheel and mine has never slipped. with just over 200 rwhp it copes well, many runs down the drags too.
Rollin has an EB flywheel, and he can put on a bigger clutch... now the crap that his has taken, and its loved it...

Daikin, RPM/PBR are all made by the same company. Pressure plates might be made by a diffrent companies, not sure about that one.

Rollin says mines like an Astra's... i have driven a manual astra, and its got feel at least, but it is a light clutch, and has great feel.
some manuals i have driven, you cant feel the pickup point... yet when i was getting my car dynoed at one place, the guy stalled it 7 times getting it on the dyno... pretty puss driver, i dont think he got one car on straight the whole day

xtreme clutches are almost as light as stock but have 30% more clamping force.
Very nice clutches |

if you're not worried about slipping and you're not having problems now.... then you'd be crazy not to just use a stock clutch

So is it worth spending $400-500 on a decent clutch if you're only putting out 110-150rwkws? Do they last the same amount of time (ie. H/D vs standard)?

Niko, just put it in- it didn't feel any different to a standard one to me. But then I only drove around the carpark for about an hour with it.
I bet RPM Heavy Duty is nothing put a standard one painted yellow! - John |

Yes very light....almost too light IMO. But they don't seem to slip  _2: I wouldn't get RPM from experience....they are ok but I think Daiken seems like a better choice....the pressure plate design must be different cause the RPM and Daiken clutch plates are both made by PBR. |

Yep, I'll vouch for the extreme clutches.
I've got one, I give it hell and it doesn't slip, and it I reckon it's even lighter than stock. |
