Think there's something a bit fishy going on here. Most of the ebay Exedy stage 1 kits show the centre plate with 4 springs but there are a few that show the centre plate with 6 springs. The Exedy website seems to suggest the stage 1 kit should have a centre plate with 6 springs. Not sure what's what here. Will check the part numbers on the items I received and try to match them against what the Exedy website says. I'm thinking I may have the uprated cover but not a stage 1 centre plate.

Could just be stock photos rather than the actual item?

When you're doing the clutch the whole underside of the rear of the car comes off pretty much, so if you have some bushes may as well get em fitted whilst its up in the air and in pieces already.
