Default Clutch and Flywheel setup

Ok so I am sick and tired of the stock clutch rattle after only 1 week of owning the car, so I am going to replace it. I want something with a little more bite but still want to keep the easy DD driving experiance, no work outs durring traffic pushing the clutch down. I plan to autocross the car here and there, but mainly just a DD from work home and school.

I am looking at this setup, please let me know what you think?

ACT Streetlite Flywheel!
Weight: 8.6lbs
Part# 600350

ACT HS1-HDSS
Heavy Duty Pressure Plate
Stock Street Disk

All together I am looking at about $845 for everything. Is this setup worth the $845?

Hey!
I'm also in GA.. right close to you actually.

Are you planning on installing this yourself? or taking it to a shop??

If you're installing it yourself.. I'd be willing to lend a hand!

Also, I've just started reading up on here, but seems like a strong PP + oem disc with lighter flywheel seems to be a good choice here..

with that said, if you want to sell your AP1 flywheel to me.. I'll buy it for the right price

i am down to sell the flywheel. it has 40K miles on it as of right now. I am actually going to greenville SC to do the install. a buddy of mine works at ths Porsche dealership up there and he said bring it and he would do it for pizza and beer (you can never beat that). I have a few other goodies coming in soon also, I may hit you up if you are still interested.

LOL!
I work right at the new AT&T store off Sugarloaf & five forks in the Johnny's pizza and Firehouse subs plaza!!

Wow.. you're REALLY close to me!

I park my car in the backside of the store so it's not visible from Sugarloaf pkwy though

I'd definitely be down to come up to greensville if you and your friend don't mind.

hell i will let you know. I went up there last over the last weekend and we did a little inspection. Changed the fluids (Royal Purple motor oil, and rear diff fluid, and AmsOil Synchromesh MTF). Now its time for the clutch.

Use an OEM honda disc with the ACT components or your clutch rattle/buzz will not go away

But, is there any reason S owners don't go with a stronger clutch?
