hey Blackg3507 personal I'm installing a complete NISMO clutch setup, with flywheel=), right now and will be done this week coming up so it should be awhole lot better then the suck dualmass torque converter=)lol. All I suggest it when u replace the clutch replace the Pilot bearing behind the flywheel to the NISMO pilot bearing($12USD), cause the oem is a brass ring not a true bearing. hope this help u out alittle.

Your choice depends on your use and of course resale attractiveness.
Your stock clutch/flywheel is a dual mass unit. If you go with a Nismo, single mass flywheel, you will have a nice improvement, virtually chatter free and still smooth engagement. Probably the way the car should have come in the first place. You can still use this unit with a low boost FI, on stock internals for example, such as supercharger or turbo, and be fine. Cost differential over stock parts is negligible for the clutch, so just a slightly lighter flywheel parts upgrade.
If you want to deal with the increased sensitivity of a light weight flywheel, and potential for stalling the car at stoplights, etc., then you can go to the other products including the Jim Wolf product. It is outstanding, as is anything that Jim Wolf releases to the market, but you will hear the classic "cement mixer" rattle at idle. IF that does not bother you, this is a solid unit that delivers the light weight flywheel/clutch performance returns and you can use it on FI too.
IF you want to pop the bucks for the carbon units, I have a three disc ATS and it has been totally awesome, for both track and street, but with a 10 pound flywheel you have to be very precise with the clutch. If you are not tracking the car, this might be a lot more than you need. I have used it in stop and go freeway traffic in Los Angeles, and it does not get much tougher than that...and it is butter smooth. But definitely NOT the unit for everyone. I had the single disc Exedy, but it could not take the track punishment I gave it. Probably ok for stock use on the streets. Smooth and quiet.
Finally there is a Tilton unit that weighs about 8 pounds. Check around and drive one before you buy one. Great racing unit, bit dicey on the streets though.

^ omfg, a 8 lb flywheel, even for a civic i'd find that excessive.
on my old S14 the 14lb flywheel felt nice, definitely 11lb for the setup i had would have been nice
i can't wait til my stock clutch goes and i can get my jwt lightweight flywheel in there. will be sweet.

I went with the JWT clutch/flywheel combo and have been happy with it. The lighter flywheel freed up some power and the clutch has good grip. The chatter at idle is noticeable, but the benefits outweigh the issues.
i drive my car a few times a week but still want it to b as easy on the leg as poss. but still want a good clutch kit. need it to with stand 438rwhp..... any sugg.? act,spec, competition, what do you guys think

I just ordered an ACT with the streetlite flywheel (16lb) from Injected yesterday. Plus a spacer and MREV2. To bad I'm stuck in Iraq for a few more months. Gonna get an exhaust and HFC next month for my birthday.
