Need Clutch and flywheel
I've done my research on the best streetable clutch. JWT did an awesome job marketing their product for the 350z platform, however it's not actually the "best" clutch in the market for what you're looking for. If you've taken one apart, you'll notice that a JWT clutch is actually a rebadged Exedy clutch. The one you want is an ACT.
I have driven JWT Combo, Exedy, SPEC Single and Twin set-ups, Competition Combos, ACT, OS Giken, Carbonetic and others.
For an NA street car, I like the Competition STGII or JWT. They are almost identical, smooth engagement, reliable and priced right around $400.00. Exedy is nice too, but prices itself out of consideration.
I give the Competition STGII the edge because they almost have a no questions asks warranty (at least through a vendor) and they are on the east coast. Plus their flywheel is one piece forged steel versus the JWT segmented aluminum if you were interested.
Hope this helps.

+1 And so are many other brands. Unless you are buying a billet multi-disc or something completely custom, they're all gonna be re-badged exedy, daiken, etc. Even then the discs are often re-badged.
