Default Hardtopguy clutch package

I have a question about the clutch package for a 2004. I know I need the HD ACT pressure plate and Comptech lightened flywheel. Do I need the new throwout bearing and OEM disc or can I reuse the throwout bearing and OEM disc that I have on the car now? Thanks for everyones assistance.

because the parts are so cheap, and would need to be replaced sometime down the road anyways, it's honestly best to just do it now and save yourself the time/labor costs down the road. since they have everything out anyways.

Now, here's where "want" and "need" is different for different people. You don't really "need" a Comptech flywheel, or a new flywheel at all if your old one is still good. You should put in a new T.O. bearing. Isn't the whole reason for doing a clutch job is that you've worn down the clutch disc? If you haven't, then why do it unless you are putting in the HD PP for more clamping force? Usually, we do clutches because the disc is going, therefore, a new disc is a given.

Thanks for the help guys. What I am looking for here is the "more clamping force" That is why I asked if I needed the new TO bearing and disc since they only have 10k miles on them and are still just fine. I am looking at upgrading to a supercharger/turbocharger sometime in the future.
