Default Which Clutch/Flywheel set-up is better: Tilton or JWT

I just placed an order for JWT clutch and Nismo Flywheel. I am thinking about switching the order to the Tilton setup. I really want a clutch and flywheel that makes a difference in the car's acceleration and revving. But, I've heard so many mixed opinions on the Tilton, I don't know what to do.

I just love the revving of the Tilton, its like a damn motorcycle or Carrera GT. But I don't know how bad it will be driving it around.

I rarely drive in traffic, and I usually just use the car to go to College, home, the gym, and take my gf out in.

What do you guys think? Tilton or JWT? Help me out please.

JWT Flywheel with NISMO CLUTCH if you were looking for something with a stock pedal engaugement but better performance...

JWT flywheel is the lighest of the stock size...
NISMO Flywheel is the lightest of the stock size (solid hub)...
JWT Clutch is less money, SPRUNG hub (not as quick response), More clamping force, More Weight...

I;d recommend a Fidanza flywheel (same as JWT but costs less) and stick to the clutch you bought

The truth is the clutch I bought is actually Exedy, but I was told they make the parts for nismo. Is this true? Does exedy make a decent clutch?

Exedy does make the NISMO clutch, but its a totally different clutch from the NISMO. Yes the Exedy is a good unit too

the JWT clutch is made by exedy...

the big difference between the two though, is the sprung hub and solid hub...

NISMO Clutch Disc:

a 3 puck racing disc is available as well (can use with JWT PP)

Sprung Hub:

This is a picture of a QR clutch, but the sprung hub on the disc looks similar... just to get an idea...
