He maintained his car like no one I’ve ever seen and I want to keep up the maintenance. His clutch is starting to go out and I don’t want to get an OEM one. I did some research on here and it seems that a lot of people have been complaining about loud noise when they’ve replaced their flywheel. I use this car as my daily driver and I would like to upgrade the clutch with an aftermarket. What combination of clutch and flywheel would you suggest that I can use that won’t be a pain in the *** for daily driving, that has good performance and doesn’t have the noise that everyone’s complaining about?

Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the sympathy. I went with the HD CSC. I've heard great things about this setup.

The next thing my brother wanted to do to his car was to lower it. What do you guys think of this: https://conceptzperformance.com/Cart...on.php?II=8380

I'm thinking coilovers are a safe bet.

A quick update. The clutch has been installed and it's been about five hundred miles and I couldn't be happier. The revs and response is so much quicker. I now know what they mean about the noise from the lightened flywheel, but its not that bad. Maybe because it's my daily driver and all I do is drive it to work and back home so it doesn't bother me as much.
