why not? its going to be cheaper then your local dealership
they have a website also if you prefer to order that way....

you can shop around the sponsors on the forum also that carry OEM replacement parts

it all comes out of your wallet, no way around it

You'll want to resurface the flywheel to avoid chatter. Not sure how touchy these cars are, but on my old Mustang, I did a clutch swap without resurfacing or replacing the flywheel and had no issues. A machine shop will usually do the job for around $50.

All that I have to go by is the description. The same description that you read.

It's probably better if you replace your flywheel as well. It's not easy to find someone that will resurface the dual mass flywheel. Most will just tell you that you can't. OEM flywheels are about $1k, give or take a few hundred.

If you're going through the trouble, aftermarket equipment may be a way to go. It's cheaper too.

Good catch, I completely forgot about the dual mass setup in the Z's.

I'd definitely just buy a brand new flywheel, you'll be glad you did in the long run.

I wouldn't trust a shop that would agree to resurfacing a dual mass. I've heard nothing else except that people get terrible vibrations after doing it. Sucks that the OEM clutch kit is so cheap, but the OEM flywheel is an arm and a leg. Could always get the Z1 or JWT complete kit. The clutches themselves are more than OEM, but the flywheels are way cheaper.

Minor headache with the flywheel is that you have to inspect to see if it needs to be replaced. You have the engine-transmission apart. May as well do it then rather than later.
