Default clutch and flywheel...

I think my clutch is a bit warn out. I was thinking about getting the JWT clutch/flywheel. My car is stock other then the popcharge. Would it be a good buy? Is the JWT combo good?

I to am in the same boat looking for a new clutch and flywheel combo. And wonder if the JWT setup will make any chatter noise...? Anyone with this setup please shed some light on this. Thanks in advance.

I have the jwt sitting behind my desk. I orderd it from ForgedPerformance, it shipped monday and arrived on thursday. It really is a good looking flywheel. I dont care if it makes noise, i like noise.

The JWT combo is good and seems a lot of people have done it. Although I've heard bad things about the JWT clutch, I would personally go with the ACT clutch and JWT flywheele. That seems to have better review and people seem to like the ACT clutch more.

Default what about this combo

I was recomended to get:

ACT flywheel part number ACT-600215 for 362.00 and JCT clutch assembly part number NZI-HDSS for 531.00. from mynismo.com

the car is basically stock but I have to replace the transmission so it seems like the time to do this. My 5th gear synchro has gone out.

I drive the car on the street alot (105,000 miles on a 2003 model) and it sees a little track time.

I have heard that the lighter clutch and flywheel make a hugh difference in the throttle response, can anyone confirm that as well?
