Lemming:
Not sure the makers, (I know there are several out there) but when I discussed the possibility of lighter clutch assemblies, with two reputable shops in San Diego who also build 944Spec racers, the response was the same: go Sachs OEM with spring-centered plate. That's what I did, and I'm happy and content with the results.
Bear in mind, a stock car weighs 500 to 600 Lbs. more than a spec car, and is most likely driven on a regular basis, and in traffic. A heavy car, driven regularly, and possibly in heavy traffic, with lots of first gear clutch work, might wear out a performance clutch assembly a lot faster than a 2600-lb. race-prepped car (with driver and no passenger) that sees only track days and virtually no stop and go traffic. So, for the average standard-weight car used in traffic - stop and go traffic - I think the stock OEM assmebly is more appropriate, and will last longer.
But: it's your $900.00 - $1200.00 in labor to do a clutch job. Spend it often, or not so often. Afterall ... it's your money. ;-)
Again, my Dos Pesos.
