Competition Stage 2 clutch and 11 pound flywheel (if you want a lighter flywheel).

Toda Flywheel, with Excedy clutch. Betterbite than stock and peddle pressure is just slightly stiffer than stock and it will rev quicker too.
exedy makes clutch plates for ACT, I was looking at mine just now and it says it on the disc. I guess ACT makes the PP.

why are you getting a new clutch? is your oem going out? just wondering. Get a light flywheel, so much better for rev matching heel/toe. Does SPEC make a clutch for the s2k? I know they are really good for euros

They probably will, I had it done that way. Lots of other members have too. You just need to have a cooler dealer and service guy/mechanic.

If you are an AP2 you definitely want to change the flywheel. If you reserach it and read Billman's threads, you will see what I am talking about. His theory is due to the heavier flywheel (compared the ap1's) the ap2 CANNOT be shifted as fast as an ap1 without an aftermarket lighter flywheel. The flywheel cannot slow down fast enough and you can still get some slippage even with the CDV removed.

Just an FYI, I had the hardtopguy kit installed (ACT pressure plate, stock disc) except that I went with the Toda flywheel since the Comptecth was not available . . . and I'm very happy with it.

I think that applies only if you keep the factory pressure plate. The problem isnt the flywheel, just with the holding capacity of the pressure plate. If you upgraded the pressure plate and kept the flywheel the same I'm sure you could shift just as fast, probably chirp tires easier during shifts due to the stored energy of the heavier flywheel

SPEC does make a clutch for the S2000
