Hi Fernando, welcome to the forum !
Have you checked out the Portuguese section ?
As a general rule, higher performance clutches, tend to wear faster, grip better and faster, thus increasing "shock" to the transmission/drivetrain, and oftentimes are noisier. Though sometimes a good compromise can be found. I don't have one on my S2K, but a slight clutch upgrade on my CRX led to enormous and immediate grip. Most clutches are designed to slip a bit when engaged at first to reduce stress on the car, my new clutch seemed to rip the motor out of my car, and after about 5000 miles of hard launces on my 130k tranmission, it broke the Differential in the transmission.
There are better compromises out there though, but just to let you know it's not all roses.
