I would definitely suggest a lighter flywheel because its one of the best ways to "free up power". The less rotational mass there is, the more energy will eventually reach the wheels. Check out this thread...

Regarding the clutch, after doing some research myself, alot of people say just stay stock (especially on a daily driver, with traffic) but see for yourself:

SR motorsports stuff are WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY overpriced.

for FW u have lots of choices, Mazdaspeed or BHR Flywheel might be what u want/need

For clutches, no reason to go nuts just get Stock or Exedy Stage 1.
