If you're changing to a 6 speed because you need a stronger box, fitting a 5 speed clutch is pointless.
The 6 speed clutch will take quite a bit more torque, and also comes with the anti judder disk.

As the 6 speed version Exedy now has an anti-judder friction plate I would go with that. As above, will take more torque.
The only thing with 6 speeds is you are limited to certain flywheel weights if going aftermarket, but that said the OEM 6 speed is a lot lighter than the OEM 5 speed anyhow.

Thanks guys.for the info. My cars my daily driver and have no plans to increase the power above what i have the now 355bhp on my hawkeye wrx. So would.i be better just keeping the standard 6spd flywheel and.get it skimmed for the new clutch or would i be better just to get a new lightend flywheel.
I dont track the car but do like spirited drive.
What do u think would be best?

If your going from a 5 to a 6 speed set up, then I suppose it's cheaper to not bother getting the 6 speed flywheel and clutch and stick with the existing 5 speed setup. Especially if you've already got an expensive, upgraded setup, before getting the 6 speed box.

It's all down to personal preference and budget. I love lightweight flywheels and the difference they make to the throttle response.
Give me a call whether you just want a clutch kit or for a package deal

Tom,
I believe the Hawkeye WRX uses a "push" clutch, NOT a standard "pull" clutch, so you'll have to change a few other parts too, to convert to 6 speed/normal clutch.
Exedy do do a Pink box 5 speed "push" clutch, but you won't have much head room with 355bhp.

Tom,
So long as you get the slave cylinder, and the 6 speed fork, it should be fine.
Once you get a price, call me to make sure it is the "UK's Best Price"
