Default What clutch for an Aasco or Stillen flywheel?

I'm considering upgrading to the Stillen flywheel since I have to do my clutch soon and I was wondering what is a good clutch to go with the LWF?

Where can you order the stillen and how much is it? I'm wanting a LWF too.

Some folks go with the Sachs sport package Pressure Plate and Sprung hub disc
and some just use the sprung hub with the stock pressure plate. I think the sprung hub dampens the shock to the system and is what the majority are buying.
Standard parts are
for a 996 carrea 2/4 1999-01 the pressure plate is 996-116-027-02
996 carrea 2/4 2002-04 996-116-027-06
the high performance sachs unit is (press. plate)
1999-01 88-3082-736
2002-04 88-3082-754
The clutch disc is ordered as the sprung unit per model year

I saw the Stillen one at vivid for $700. But my local guy can get the Aasco for %800 so I may go that route.

Racing 97 do you have a link to the one with the spring hub?

Aasco is what I have, the only issue for me is the rattling noise heard during idle which is even louder when the AC is running. I'm using a Sach's clutch kit which I think could be better. Next time I'm going with the Sport Sach's clutch kit.

What do you mean by "could be better"? Are you referring to the sound or feel? Is one louder than the other? Is one lighter than the other? Sorry for all of the dumb questions.

The flywheel is noisey but other than that it's great..

The clutch, to me, is weak and could be better. I'm going for the Sach's Sport Clutch next time around.

Can you guys launch your 996 and do a burnout without the stock clutch slipping?

Why do the GAC guys run sport clutches?
