Clutch/Flywheel question
Hey guys, I will be upgrading my clutch here pretty soon, I want something that's a little better than stock since I drive my car pretty hard most of the time, what would be a good one to get? Also, while they are doing this(Clutch Mart), will they be able to lighten my flywheel too or would I have to take it elsewhere for that? Who would I take it to and how much should something like that run me? And how much should I expect to pay for the clutch w/installation?

Exedy Organic racing clutch $260 handles over 300hp
Get a racing flywheel. Don't cut that **** in half. I know of some people getting it done. bad idea.
Installation- $250-$300
ACT also makes excellent clutchs
Any questions??

an exedy organic has a better more durable friction material and slightly stiffer pressure plate.
stock clutches are designed for normal drivers. not for someone that gets hard on the car.
i dont think that having a flywheel balanced and slightly lightened is any big deal, if they trim just a little from teh backside on the outside edges you should be fine. if you want more than a pounds or two though get a new flywheel that is designed to be lighter.

What do you guys think about the clutchmasters stage three joint? I ordered it already with the flywheel. Maybe I should have asked before I bought it. 
Oh well. Let me know what ya think anyway!

dayam.......stage 3 clutch? I dunno but it mite sacrifice that everyday drivability. stage 3 clutch maybe way too hard on your foot. I plan to go act street clutch (70% more clamping power over oem) once mine goes bad, but it'll be in like 6-7 years maybe.
