    Hi there.

    I finally decided to buy a new clutch kit, but need some help and guidance to choose the right one for me
    I just need some thing reliable for the long run. Don't need racing clutch this is my daily drive car.
    What should I get and where?

    Need the following:
    Flywheel and bolts
    Clutch, TO bearing, flex plate and bolts
    alignment tool

    Thanks.

    Depending on what all you've done to the car (or plan on doing), I'd base it off of that. If your car is primarily stock, you can get a Sachs oem clutch kit and have the flywheel resurfaced (that's what I did...flywheel had some minor blemishes, but were easily buffed out..saved me some money). I had the slave cylinder replaced also. If you want something a tad bit better I'd go with the APR stage I HD clutch kit..they're on sale right now http://www.goapr.com/products/dxdclutch.php?id=18tlong

    If you have no plans for it, just pickup a Sachs OEM clutch replacement and depending on how many k's are on the clock replace/resurface flywheel

    Are you planning on chipping it? If you are I'd go with the APR stage 1 HD. If not, sachs oem is the way to go. I had roughly 118k miles on mine when I had my clutch replaced, put in a new slave cylinder and as far as the flywheel goes, it'll all just depend on how worn it is. You might be able to get away with a resurface, but then again you might not.

    There is a online shop called Axis Motorsport that sells a OE clutch kit for $475 including flywheel.
    ECS and APR sells without flywheel for around $400 stage 1.
