Thought I would add, trial and error might get you want from ceramic but the way I see it. I know the OE works and I don't have money to experiment.

Only benefits seems to be for racing purposes.

I own several 22re's and installed several clutch set-ups all with new stock flywheels exchanged with O'reillys.
(1) clutchmaster stage 1 hard pedal and easy to drive,great grip and daily driven.
(2)Wabfab ceramic hi performance clutch- 1600lb pressure but has soft pedal and very easy to drive, zero slippage on the acceleration because of the 6 puck action and no problems so far.
(3)Centerforce 1 soft pedal and but grips well.
(4)ACT stage 1 very hard pedal and grips very well with a organic disc and its on my Toyota 2tg flywheel that accepts a truck 8 7/8 "pp/clutch.Its the most uncomfortable to drive daily but its on my 81 corolla on cruises around town.
I have a turbo flywheel on the side and might set it up with a 9 1/4"MC set-up in the future.The key to a good clutch set-up is always have the flywheel resurfaced or exchanged.
