Depending on future mods, if only doing exhaust, maybe intake, no hard launching at the drag strip, a stock oem clutch is fine. If you plan on modding and drag racing, a stage 1-2, organic disc with an upgraded pressure plate will suffice.
A puck clutch is not a good choice for a DD with city driving or hilly towns.

alum. flywheel was actually considere, but the price is a bit high for me.. but ya. i was thinkin the rb s\s heavy duty disc, but i dont know wat to do about a pressure plate.... the only one rb has to offer is a race plate, but i dont think that would be good for a dd. maybe im wrong though... but wat would you guys reccomend?>?

I have a lightweight steel flywheel in my SA,and I will tell you I miss the heavy stock flywheel.The lightweight unit allows the engine to rev nice,but drivability is a bit tougher.I am also running a clutchmasters clutch which I like.It is a slight upgrade over a stick clutch setup,but not over the top.I may go back with my stock flywheel soon.

well i had it added to my list of things to buy, but i cant really wait to get a new clutch now. im getting tired of haveing to accelerate slower than the 90 lady behind me. i think im gonna keep my stock flywheel, cuz im pretty sure it doesnt need replacing, but im not sure wat plate to get.. i know im gonna get the s\s heavy duty disc.... cuz if suites my needs perfectly. ive been searchin around for good prices and found a few.. but wat about the pp? would i even need to replace it because of a slipping clutch? and if so i still dont know wat i should look into getting.
