Default Best clutch/Flywheel value for stock setup?

Hey all - noob here. What's the best value vs spending around $1600 for both parts from the dealership? Preferably least expensive but decent quality. '05 ZR stock and don't plan on doing any power upgrades unfortunately. Thanks a bunch!

Seen bunch of comments on jwt here but not much on others... Thoughts on clutch masters?

Jim Wolf clutches are pretty much the go-to for Z street clutches and if you want one that's close to OEM in overall feel (but actually stronger), consider the following:

Just put one in my son's car and it's sweet. No, this one doesn't have a lightened flywheel - instead using an iron single mass unit - and it feels really good/better than OEM. His is an HR and we updated the CSC (with the Z Speed unit) as well. Thought about going with the CSC eliminator (CMAK) but just went ahead with tried and true.

Z1 will probably be your best bet, and you can customize it as well if you choose too. One of the reasons i stress Z1 is the black friday sales are coming up, and if you can wait that long they typically have them on a deep discount.

i recently went with the z1 kit ..It gives the buyer an option of different weights for the flywheel..i got the mid weight because I like to street and track...with the performance clutch ..nice set up for me..that being said if you lose the dual mass flywheel and go with any of these THINK ABOUT
FLYWHEEL CHATTER..

Appreciate both recs! Seems like the Z1 is a no brainer from a cost perspective since the stock flywheel alone is more than 1k and they're offering both for almost half that?!

Just keep in mind its a single mass and it will chatter a bit.
