Question Clutch with stock flywheel

Hey guys, I will be getting a new clutch soon. I was wondering what is the best clutch that works with the stock flywheel. I had had them both checked by my uncle (a mechanic) told me that I would just need a new clutch. Therefore, I just wanted to know what's a good clutch for mostly everyday driving but I might be going to some track days mostly drag but just for fun nothing major.

Thanks guys

Ive always used ACT clutches in the past with great results.
Exedy is a great manufacture as well.

lightweight flywheels are worth the money.

I have used them on OEM and aftermarket flywheels. I ran their "street" disk with their "extreem" pressure plate on an OEM flywheel. I daily drove that car (32 miles each way) for a few years with no issues. It gripped well and had no chatter. I did have some chatter with their 6 puck disk, but I also had an aftermarket flywheel and a more amount of power to harness.

ACT organic clutch with the HDSS pressure plate. well worth it. clutch feel is not agressive, but i chirp tires going into 4th, so it really locks up when you want it to. the pedal feel is more "springy" than the oem clutch, which is a plus in my opinion. the pedal feel is a little bit stiffer than oem, but when i mean a little it really just is a little. i was use to the pedal feel, and didnt notice the difference within a day. But, please consider saving up for the lightweight flywheel and doing the install at the same time. you will save money in the long run, and the ACT clutch and the flywheels they offer are compliments to eachother. i went with the streetlight flywheel, and i actually found that with the ACT clutch and flywheel combination are more "driveable" than the oem set up. just food for thought.

^ I agree, if you plan to get a light weight flywheel at some point you should do it all now and save some money. Their clutches are very streetable and grip good.

Typically you want to mate your new clutch to a fresh flywheel surface, and the stock double-mass flywheel shouldn't be resurfaced, so you kind of "need" a new flywheel anyway. Might as well put the right one in while you're doing your clutch.

I mean, it's like building your engine but deciding to put in pistons now and then con rods later. Why?

WARNING. i use act products. know that if you get an act flywheel, you will encounter some chatter. it is not too bad, just something to get use to. it only presents itself at low speeds, and when you are sitting at or below 1750 rpms.
