Default Clutch/Flywheel replacement, replace anything else?

I just ordered a Mild performance Clutch/Flywheel combo kit from Z1 motorsports.
While I get the clutch/flywheel replaced and the car is on the lift, are there any things I should replace as preventive maintenance?

I do have the squeak from the throwout bearing, but the kit from Z1 says it comes with a Koyo throwout bearing already.


Thanks

Thank you, should I get a stock replacement pivot ball?
Mine is a 2003 and I see it's different from later models. The Z1 pivot ball is about 4 times more expensive than the OEM one.

And for a clutch slave should I just get an OEM one? It's around $60
This replacement looks good for $25:

What do you think?

'03? Get a CD009 Transmission. That's what I did when I swapped in the Z1 Mild Clutch & Flywheel. One of the best upgrades if you have the $$. Also might want to consider doing headers while the transmission is out of the way.

Too much $$$ for this... And my transmission feels great.
I just got my Z a little while ago and I already ordered over $3k in parts that I didn't install yet (LSD, sway bars, Koyo rad, Z1 clutch/flywheel and much more).
