New clutch/flywheel sugestions

Normally I wouldn't be straight up asking this without researching it more myself, but time is of the essence!

Basically my engine is getting replaced under warranty and I figure this would be a great time to get them to put in a new clutch and/or flywheel since the whole thing is going to be apart anyway and the stock parts have 148,000kms on them...

Any suggestions to narrow my search? My car is my daily drive and its mostly just kept to the streets.

Black Halo Racing has a good selection of clutch and flywheel components.
And if you run into any problems or questions, you can give them a call and they'll assist you!

I bought the Exedy 10803AHD clutch kit and the BHR flywheel with the ACT CW03 Counterweight.
This selection was simply because that is what Charles from BHR recommended to me as a daily driver who might go FI in the future.
But stay away from anything Stage2 and above... there is no need to go that high.

Thanks, Jon.

I'm leaning toward the ATC "Street Duty" clutch, but I'm torn between the ATC and BRH flywheels. Is that extra $100 worth the -.8lbs and removable friction plates?

I am in the exact same position i think i will go with the ACT HDSS clutch but torn on the hundred dollar difference from the pro lite ACT and the BHR flywheel is there a difference. Im not sure on the difference between exedy MS clutch and the act hdss ether will change the clucth hopefully next weekend. i also will be doing the ignition kit from BHR for sure. dont forget to weld the clutch pedal now.
