What aftermarket clutch set up is everyone going with?

I am planing on going FI. My goal is 350-400 rwhp because my sedan is a daily driver. I don't want an aggressive set up that will affect driveability or want to feel as though I'm doing leg presses with my left leg. Something similar to the stock pedal or a little stiffer would be ideal. So far I think the JWT set up is the way to go. Please give me your opinions and price paid if you already did the switch.

Thanks in advance.

Did you go with the JWT lightened flywheel also? I hear they rattle.

as for the Flywheel, i went with the Unorthodox Racing flywheel.
Less "chatter" than the JWT FW.

bought my JWT from Paul at Avalon, I think like 740 for everything...but don't quote me on that, it's been a while. Paul is a great guy really went out of his way to help me out, kit came with TO bearing and Pilot Bushing as well. Couldn't be happier with the performance of the JWT.

Anyone done self install on the clutch/flywheel? I've done all my mods myself so far, nothing really difficult, though. I'd rather save $300 and have the satisfaction of doing it myself.

Did you do it on a lift, or just on a jack and jackstands? (I've got 4 good 3-ton jackstands, and a good jack, so I can get the car in the air, but I will be lying on my back while working, rather than standing underneath it)

Just ordered the JWT clutch, pressure plate and aluminum flywheel from Jesse at Turbo Kits.com for $795. I also figured, what the hell and ordered the Iso Thermal MREV for $487. Should have both installed by mid-month.

I notice you have the Eibach Pro Springs. What do you think of them? What kind of drop did you get. Any alignment issues?

Love them. I got about 1 inch drop all the way around. The car handles great. Just a tad stiffer than the stock sport suspension. The rear springs improved dramatically. I also have noticed less wheel hop. No alignment issues yet. I've only had them for about 1 month now.
