Billman I was looking at that combination, when replacing the clutch, does the flywheel always have to be resurfaced?

Then don't get anything made by Competiton Clutches.
My recc:
ACT pressure plate, OEM disc, OEM bearings
toda, comptech, act, or oem flywheel
approx 27 act kits installed with OEM disc-no buzz
2 Competition clutch kits installed-both have worse buzz than the older cars started with.
I can have the CC owners post here to back this up

I have the Comptech (lightweight) flywheel. It takes just a little getting used to as far as launching the car, compared to the OEM flywheel. Sure winds up fast though.

When my car was supercharged it had a TODA complete clutch kit.
I hated this clutch it was impossible to park without grinding. I usualy stalled trying to get into first on any kind of slope.
going back to OEM was like a dream!

I'd really like to learn more about the Spec lightweight setup.
I would say it would be a good recommendation to your customers. I have had a few different setups in my car from OEM to a 6 puck Exedy Hyper single and the Spec setup is the most enjoyable as far.
The peddle feel is light, lighter than stock but, the grip is much better, around 30%. I have the Spec light pressure plate (around 4 pounds lighter than stock) with OEM disc and OEM AP1 14 pound flywheel.
The combo is a more economical choice because you eliminate the cost of a light flywheel. By using the AP1 flywheel with the lighter pressure plate it is the same as having a 10 pound flywheel. You save upwards of $400
