There are a bunch of flywheels and clutches you can use to get that feel and handle 350RWHP...

I would recomend for someone who drives mainly on the street's and sometrack driving the NISMO Flywheel and Clutch or JWT Flywheel and Clutch...

The next step up will be something like the Exedy carbon clutch...

Then the extreme is TILTON Flywheel and clutch...

there is more info here...

Now for Suspension...

what kind of ride are you looking for... how much of a drop do you want, or do you not want a drop at all?

Does the Nismo Clutch / Flywheel chatter or make noise ?

Any flywheel you put inplace of the OEM will have some chatter...

but you only hear the chatter at idle or if accelerating in gear below 2500RPM...

the stock flywheel is a 2 piece flywheel that has a ruber dampner in it...

well i would like as little chatter as possible, also im looking for that silky smooth engagement, but that tight grip feeling....nothing clunky and extreme, something to keep up with future mods.....

as for the suspension, i would like nothing more than an inch drop and that might be too much, seeing as i got 19's.....i want something comfortable, its my daily driver i take my dates in that car.........lol!!! anyway i would like a more grippy feel, i wanna feel like i can take a turn fast and not feel like im gonna lose control....i was thinkin tein suspension vs. nismo, i would need coilovers as well as sway bars, anything else i would need to make the suspension complete? what about bushings?

TEIN Basic sounds like what you would like...

no bushings avialble yet...

Tein S-Tech springs will be too harsh for your needs with 19's... but the H-Tech wont drop as much... Eibach's would be good too but they sag more then an inch...

So the TEIN Basic you can control and give you a smooth grippy sporty ride...

We have the tein basic ins tock...
