Anything more than a stock clutch is overkill on a stock 13b. I did mine a couple months ago, ordered everything through mazdatrix. Works great.

You will need:

Cover/Plate: http://mazdatrix.com/getprice.asp?partnum=16-4100-N304
Disk: http://mazdatrix.com/getprice.asp?pa...6-460A-N308-9U
Throwout Bearing: http://mazdatrix.com/getprice.asp?partnum=16-5100-FE84
Pilot Bearing: http://mazdatrix.com/getprice.asp?partnum=11-D030-N326
Pilot Seal: http://mazdatrix.com/getprice.asp?partnum=11-404A-1881
And for God's sake, the pilot bearing remover: http://mazdatrix.com/getprice.asp?partnum=49-1285-0710

And yes it IS worth the $118

if your 13B is stock to slightly modified, the oem clutch will be just fine. not to mention they hold up very well.

the stock clutch will hold up with slight bolt ons. exhaust, carb, etc... porting is a whole different animal combined with a nice RB exhaust and a couple of weber carbs. i like the stock EGI setup though. very smooth.
