Default Suggestions for Flywheel & Clutch upgrade

Alright, I visited my dealer late last summer after my 5-speed coupe developed a rachet sound when I released the clutch after a really good back roads run for over 15mins.

Well, the tech said he had seen that before and it was the pressure plate wearing out. Well, I plan to have my lift up and running sometime this summer.

Currently I can feel vibration letting the clutch out from 1st or 2nd when pulling hard.

I plan to install an new clutch kit and light weight flywheel. Any recommendations for the lighter flywheel?

Any horror stories of upgrade gone bad? (Clutch flywheel related)

Any recommendation for attempting an Accord clutch swap at home?

get a fidanza flywheel. its 8 lbs. makes a good difference but not as much as it would on a Bseries motor. F23 internals are still pretty heavy. Clutch for street driving i would get the ACT heavy duty pressure plate and street disc. If u want more extreme get clutch masters. the more extreme ACT clutches are brutal.
