I plan to get mine from HTguy when my time comes. You don't necessarily need the complete kit that he sells. You can possibly have your stock flywheel machined and use it again. I would certainly go for the HD pressure plate. The rest of the "package" is required. Get him to quote you for just the OEM disc, ACT HD PP, TO bearing and see what that comes to.

I agree. I have the ACT HD PP and the ACT street disc in lieu of the OEM disc and a resurfaced stock flywheel, it grabs like nobodys business! I just dont like to hold down the clutch at a stoplight now, lol. The clutch pedal is dead even with the brake pedal, it grabs alot lower than stock.

Is the OEM pressure plate still good tho...I don't plan on upgrading my engine in any sense..and for the type of driving I do the stock clutch was good..untill it went on me...

Hardtopguy stock clutch, pressure plate and throw beating is only $340 USD soo cheap..considering I was quote $700 usd up here (In canada)..

is there any other parts I would need other than these 3??

Just had mine done recently. I went back to OEM clutch, pressure plate ($330 for both) and thrown bearing ($200). So that's all you need.

I have thrown in a toda lightened flywheel since I was dropping the clutch. ($660)

BTW all prices are in Singapore dollars.

Product inquiry, Moving to S2000 Talk.

The ACT/OEM disc setup is an excellent choice for daily driven cars that see HD use.
