Default In need of a new clutch.

I am in need of a new clutch and was wondering what route you gentleman would recommend? I daily the car and occasionally do a few track days a month(1-2 Times). I would also like a lighten flywheel. Any opinions would be much appreciated.

SPEC makes good stuff at a reasonable price and I believe they're a sponsor here on RennList.

Don't go for the lightened flywheel. It can break the crankshaft. See Jake Rabys article on this.

You don't say the year, but upgrade the IMS bearing instead while you're in there way before lightened flywheel. Go stock with clutch if it's your daily drover
PS - 1-2 tracks days/month is a LOT
Cheers

Default Agree with IMS idea. ( i did) as for clutches..

from what i see and hear, there are fairly few options. Juts get the sachs sport kit (they are OEM i believe) and proceed. Wear comes from carppy shifting, not materials deficiencies.
