Default Need A New Clutch

I'm looking to buy a fairly decent clutch on a budget. Any suggestions for me to check out? Would greatly appreciate the help!

Yeah I've heard good things about JWT. The flywheel for that is so damn expensive though ha Getting that as opposed to the OE Exedy be worth it? Or should I just go with the OE? Performance wise I probably won't be installing too many upgrades, but I'll take a little where I can get it.

Oh and what if I were to buy the JWT clutch without a flywheel? If my current flywheel is still good would it be alright to leave it in? Or would that not work well with a higher performance clutch.

would work fine with a stock flywheel as well, though if you're not planning major upgrades, the stock clutch also works just fine. You will get quicker overall engine response with the lightweight flywheel. Whereas a heavier duty clutch will not provide any performance benefit on a stock or nearly stock car
