I just put a new clutch in last year and after polling all the S2KC guys, most are using something stock-ish so I went with the exedy OEM replacement on a ACT lightened flywheel and have been very happy. If I had to do it again I would buy the same clutch but go 8.5lbs on the flywheel instead of 11.

Most of the arguments against a heavy clutch revolve around diff longevity (clutches are cheaper than diffs), and unless you are making significantly more power than stock, you shouldnt need a heavy clutch.

I planned on going with a stock ap2 setup. Just was curious if people were mixing and different disc/pressure plate combos up for better longevity.
