Default clutch install. What else do I need?

Im having a clutch put in this spring and was wondering what all I need to replace. My Vette is an 04 coupe. I already have the clutch. Its the Dual friction centerforce clutch. Im not changing the flywheel. Keeping stock.These are the things that I know to get. pilot bearing, remote clutch bleeder, What else..Thanks All....

While in there I would do a new pressure plate and a new slave cylinder, along with the clutch, throw out bearing, and remote bleeder.

Ok Thanks. I think the pressure plate came with the clutch. I forgot about the slave cylinder. Is there one better then my oem or do I just buy a new one like I have now.

Replace the stiffener plate with a thicker insulated one.

What the heck is that?
I'd also recommend getting a new clutch master cyl.
Check for proper shimming.
Good luck.

Why have you decided to keep the same flywheel? Pilot bearing should be replaced as well.

Well, I was going to get the aluminum flywheel, but Ive heard good things and bad things with the centerforce clutch, as soon as I heard bad things, thats all it took. I dont want any problems when this gets all together...
