Default ls7 clutch

Guys,

My clutch has finally breathed its last breath.

Anyone know a vender that has a sweat deal on an LS7 clutch/flywheel assembly? I also want to replace the slave/throwout bearing while it is down, any advice on this? I do not want junk as I am currently replacing my wife's 6 month old throwout bearing in her Formula as we speak. I HATE chinese crap. Will also be replacing the pilot bearing. Who makes a good remote bleeder so I can hopefully keep the clutch fluid clean.

I'd love to get this all in a package or something if a vender can work something out for me

Thanks!


Edited to add:
Car is a 2004 z06, cam + bolt ons, 430rwhp, approximately 75k miles on the stock clutch and everything except that I have upgraded to the tick master already.

GM parts direct had the best price when I was looking, but they screwed up my order and tried to bill me twice, so be aware of that if you order from them. I've read that scoggin dickie has a good kit that includes an aluminum flywheel. You might also try Partsgeek. They usually have good prices. You should use OEM slave, they were redesigned in 2004 and are an improvement over the earlier years. The throw out bearing is built into the slave as a one piece unit. Tick makes a good remote bleeder.
