Default JWT vs ZSPEED stock clutch replacement

Hey guys

Most posts I look I see people replacing their clutches with JWT kit, but one that involves LWF, I am wondering if anyone has bought either of the following kits and has feedback about them

Just installed that exact JWT clutch/flywheel setup on my son's HR car. Beautiful. With the change from the dual mass flywheel to SMF, we expected to get more gear rattle but pleasantly, the JWT steel/iron SMF didn't really make much more (it any) more noise from the tranny than the DMF.

Feel of the unit is good. Very smooth engagement and with the ZSP CSC pushed by a new OEM M/C, much better pedal. We're happy with it. I might have tried the ZSP CMAK kit but the HD CSC is tried and true.

I'm going a different route with my 03 when it needs a clutch for experimentation's sake and my use of my car is vastly different from my son's DD duties so I can afford to try something a little more aggressive.

I recently replaced my clutch and flywheel, among other things. I went the JWT route because they know our cars. Great customer support, too. The lightweight flywheel made more noise originally - it actually sounded like a diesel truck. Once it broke-in, it's barely louder than stock. There is some clatter below 2,000 RPM. At first it was downright annoying, but again, after about 1,000 miles, it's barely louder than stock.

I personally feel like the JWT has a better design. As well.

I plan on going the Southbend clutch and flywheel and external slave from ZSP eventually if I keep the car. But for now I might buy a new diff
