The difference is in how much power they can hold.

A stage 2 is good up to about 200WHP, a stage 3 is good up to about 250-300WHP

Which clutches are you talking about.
We have used a Stage 3 clutch from a well known US company and it will just bearly hold 200 wheel hp.

Just for informative purposes, how many HP's would be the limit for a standard (OEM I mean) Tiburon/Elantra clutch?
And, are there any differences in regards driveability when you change OEM clutch to a more performance clutch?

Zman- The cluches "holding" power varies by gear (torque to the wheels) and how you treat your clutch. Driven perfectly, the stocker might hold to 150 to the wheels. In most peoples car, it wears out from abuse. Either heat glazing from too much slipping, or breakage/fraying from too severe of engagement.

The higher the HP potential of the clutch, the "grippier" it is, thus the harder it is to drive unless you shift/clutch very well. I would only reccomend a stage 2 for N/A or light nitrous setups and a stage 3 for supercharger/turbo/heavy nitrous.
