back-up/spare clutch... bearings needed?

I don't know what clutch is in my FC now, but its definitely on its way out. I'll be driving in a practice event drift day soon, and I wouldn't be surprised if the clutch goes out at that time. I'd order a new clutch now, throw it in, and would like to drive it in the event, but theres no way I'll be driving 500ish city miles to break it in before the event. For $35, I picked up a used oem replacement clutch off the forums - just in case. After examination, the clutch plate and pressure plate are both in good/decent shape.

As I only have a clutch plate and pressure plate, what else, specifically bearings, do I need to replace with the clutch plate and pressure plate? I know the throwout bearing will need to be replaced, but what else, and where can I buy those for an oem replacement clutch?

Thanks

other than the t/o you already have, just the pilot bearing and seal are needed. if you want to go the extra mile get a trans front cover and seal, and a new clutch fork and fork pivot. thats an extra 100 bucks though, but certainly dont hurt to replace.

Seeing as this is like an autozone or whatever oem replacement clutch, should I just get the oem pilot bearing and seal from mazdatrix?
