DO NOT upgrade your clutch without upgrading the CSC (or eliminating it). The OEM CSC will not be up to the task of dealing with your upgraded clutch. It will fail, and fail pretty soon.

I have the ZSpeed HD CSC and the Z1 Clutch/Flywheel package and I am happy with the setup.. I didn't do a retune afterwards, but everything works properly.

I'd like to say the HD CSC failure rate is around... .01% (1/1000) but it's probably a LOT less.
I'd go HD CSC from Joe @ ZSpeed because it keeps the OEM system in tact. And Joe is awesome... And there's nothing to worry about during install/no adjustments as your clutch wears.
Just an FYI, .01% = .0001 = 1/10000.

I just replaced my CSC this past summer assuming it was the issue. Turns out it was the Master Cylinder...ugh.

I went with OEM clutch/PP, Z1 HD CSC, and Southbend lightened flywheel. Engine revs a little faster, and driveability is perfect. I also have the eBay clutch helper spring. Daily driven since, no issues. Didn't even really take time to relearn to drive the car.
