Default Another clutch thread

I've searched extensively, I know everyone likes the HTG setup, and many others recommend an all ACT setup.

My S2000 is a daily driver, the drive train is stock and will remain that way for at least a couple years. I'm thinking that $1075 is just too much to spend for "improved pedal feel" considering i can get that flywheel (ACT Streetlite)with OEM Honda Disk and OEM honda pressure plate along with an oem throw out bearing for about $775. I can't justify $300 extra for the ACT HD PP for an all stock car that will never need it, especially when I'm dealing with OEM Honda, not something like F1 racing, or some oe replacements.

the questions:

1) is this sound logic, or is there something I'm missing? Is it really is worth the extra 300 bucks?

2) Has Honda fixed the buzz in their clutches properly for the AP1's? I know they say they have.

3) I don't see many posts at all saying they went oem PP and disk, is there a reason I am unaware of?

4) Lastly, does this sound like a good setup? (ACT Streetlight, OEM disk, pressure plate and TOB)

Thanks guys!

1. Yes, my ACT bites much noticeably harder than MY01 and MY04 clutch i was running. the shift point is very exact
2. yes, 02-03+ clutches shouldn't have a clutch buzz.
