We all can't see your shopping cart, you need to post a direct link to the clutch.

Why do you need a stage 2 clutch, are you turbo or n/a? Stock replacement Exedys are cheap on ebay.

You don't need a flywheel, but you should get yours resurfaced from a competent machine shop.

Agreed. The clutch is like brakes, it's best if you replace or refinish both surfaces at the same time. Resurfacing the flywheel is probably the best/cheapest option.

I assume you are looking at the spec clutch. I would ask around about them, I have never used one but I have heard quite a few bad reviews of them. I would recommend an ACT clutch, and don't get any more clutch than you need else you may regret it.
