Default Tax Refund Check: New Clutch?

Hey so i'm getting a pretty sizable check from the IRS and my car's clutch is pretty worn. Its has 65k miles, '03 Enthusiast. I was wondering what aftermarket clutches some of you guys have and your opinion of them. I'm think Spec Stage 2+ or JWT, something like that.
Any input is appreciated.

Advanced search, 'clutch', 'in title only' - Engine-Drivetrain forum. Read. There are about a dozen threads started on this in the past month or so... not to mention the past 5 years..

Good luck.

define "aggressive"

a clutch is bought based on what is, or is planned to be done with the car modification wise (specifically torque wise). If you're not planning on anything nuts, you don't need anything more than stock in all honesty, as it's quite capable

Wish i was getting a sizable check, mine will only be enough for a clutch and flywheel, nothing else. Race seats of topping off my Roth IRA is my check plan.

Seems like clutch flywheel is the latest rage. Plenty of anecdotal “ I installed brand X clutch flywheel and my car is really fast” evidence. I say bunk.

I replaced the OEM clutch flywheel when I broke it drag racing - not before.
