Default Clutch and Flywheel Time

Any other car I've had all you need to do is swap the disc and MAYBE resurface the flywheel - With my HR it appears to be Extra Special and I'm a bit overwhelmed and I have NO clue what way to go with it.

My car is a DD that gets driven spiritedly, Looking for something a lil' better than stock but not "racekar"

Dual Mass Flywheel - Do I replace it or chunk it for a single mass (what about chatter?)

CSC is getting replaced by default but do I need an aluminium one if I'm going for a "stockish" setup?

Just what all do I need to replace while I'm under here? - I can't seem to find a good DIY for HR's and the FSM is telling me to do extra, unnecessary stuff.

Any words of wisdom?

I love my ACT HD Clutch, Streetlite Flywheel, Wilwood Master, and ZSpeed CSC.

I'm reading that the Master has to changed as well - Any truth to this?

As i am a bit in the same boat as OP with what to choose from for a non-tuned race setup but something that is better then stock.
I am wondering though, the dual mass is made to absorb the torsional vibration of the engine, if you replace this for a single mass is there no need to install an vibration damper pulley on the front or something?
As we all know these torsional vibration can really mess up your engine.

Personally i leaning towards a JWT setup.

As for the master cylinder, it mostly advised to change it as it might get faulty after a cdc failure due to contamination in the hydraulic oil.
When i will get the clutch changed i will go for this as well, anyway all system is opened and drained so better get done with it for years.

You should be changing out the Master, Slave and FW/Clutch. SS clutch lines as well. There are multiple vendors that have kits for the HR. I went with Zspeed's package of South Bend Stage 2 clutch and the replacement upgraded Master and Slave w/ SS clutch lines.

You cannot resurface the DMF that comes stock, most shops wont touch it.

Had some questions about the SB kit but just read through your topic, that answered all my questions.:-)

^Only issue I had was with the Master, it was replaced and seems good, have about 6K on it already and no loss of fluids.
