word of advise to OP... you only want to do this once, so do it properly. tho you already have posted a cost effective one... i would first think, on a serious note, what are the realistic future plans for the car? as far as power /torque is concerned. That way you choose a setup that would work for your future goal.

second, definitely upgrade the flywheel if you can... you're already in there... so why not get it done already. i'm a fan of chromoly flywheels for 90% of our clients. Its a common thing to say that you will be tracking and beating the car up all the time, but then how many times do you REALLY track / race the car? a little fun in the highway / streets isnt the same as drag racing or circuit racing at local tracks every weekend. So the lightweight stuff might sound tempting adn a better upgrade, but at what cost? more chatter, and less friendlier drive feel at daily driving speeds? sometimes a little less goes a long way in enjoying the car's feel.

third, DEFINITELY do the slave cylinder upgrade if you can. Zspeed has a great product and just like the flywheel situation... you're already in there, so why not???

last but not the least, if you are not boosting that car in the near future. Go with a Giken super single setup

I absolutely HATE the OE Dual Mass, It makes the car a PITA to drive. Ever notice when you take off no matter how hard you try you can't keep the car from bucking on you? This is ALL from the stock flywheel, When you pull it and put a 1 piece in it makes the car so much better to drive.

IMO the South Bend flywheel is the ONLY option for these cars, The others are too light, Inserted aluminum that will warp sooner or later, or cheap stamped steel of some kind that makes the trans rattle like mad.

I see a lot of opinions on clutches here, what you are going to be doing with the car? Big decisive factor when choosing a clutch is too get one that will work for how you will be driving the car, Drag racing? Track, Street ect.
