Default LT4 replacement clutch

My throw out bearing is making noise. Can anyone recommend a replacement for a stock LT4 clutch. Car was recently purchased. 48,000 original miles.
Not looking for any serious future upgrades. Just a car to drive on nice days, weekends.
Thanks.

For a stock or even moderately modified car, I'd just stick with a plain organic disk. All the OE-type pressure plates are now made in China, regardless of the brand on the box or what color they are painted. Literally all of them. The throwout bearings are the same story, and are quite the weak point. If you can find a new-old-stock INA-branded bearing, buy it and use that. It will expensive but worth it. For the p/p and disk I'd just get something cheap from a company that stands behind their stuff and can provide good customer support. Carolina Clutch is a good bet.

If you're going to keep your dual-mass flywheel, make sure you get the solid-hub disk. If you are swapping to a solid flywheel, get a heavier one (best for your use) and use a sprung-hub disk with it.
