If youre not pushing large amounts of power over stock, just go with an exedy oe spec off ebay (cant beat the pricing). It will probably cut at least $150 off that price

kits on ebay come complete, 99% of the time
Pressure plate, clutch, pilot and throwout bearings, and alignment tool

I suggest ebay store, grip force clutches.

www.clutchcityonline.com for the Exedy organic OE kit. I had it in my Si and loved it. Another option would be an OEM ITR clutch disc and throwout bearing combined with an ACT HD pressure plate. A complete OEM ITR clutch assembly would be a nice choice as well.

I use clutchmaster, (cus my friend races for them) or competition clutch. I am going to a C.C. stage 2 in a week, from a stage 4 clutchmaster. A flywheel will help you a lot as well.

A lightened flywheel would be a better investment. His stock fly is prob still good too.
