Need clutch + flywheel suggestions
Well long story short the pilot bearing went south and took everything nearby with it, so it's time for a new clutch and flywheel.
I want to put in an aluminum flywheel for sure, and whatever is a good clutch choice for my application.
99 M6 Coupe, 95% stock, long-term I don't see anymore than low 400's to the wheels, if that, but for now it's pretty much stock. I'll occasionally go the dragstrip, but I don't particularly race it. Mostly RR/Autox type stuff, but it's a daily driver.
Clutch recommendations??
Which flywheel to get and who from??
Also, I would like to get these for equal or less cost than OEM parts from the dealer, so keep budget in mind please :). Of course, if that's not possible, I'll understand...use ~$1000 as the cutoff, just to throw out a rough figure, I have to call them monday morning to find out exactly how much the parts are.
So what should I do??

For you I think a Z06 clutch would be enough to last you.
I bought a SPEC III a while back w/ aluminum flywheel for $700, so finding a better clutch within your $1000 budget should be easy.

Take a close look at the options listed.

The stage 2 unit would be all you should need. It includes the Fidanza aluminum flywheel and all new brgs for just 795.00. It is a straight replacement of OE and no other changes are needed. The pedal feel and engagement will feel just like the original. Xtreme Motors, Ecklers, DTE, and a few others carry this setup along with the Exedy.
