Default Which none-sport single mass flywheel and clutch combo?

I just want a bit more pep from the low revs of my IS200. No 5kg drifting everytime nonesens. I've read that since a regular single mass flywheels are lighter than dual mass anyway, it will do the work. But a new clutch is a must. So... which one? Internet is useless, because no company is listing Lexus IS single mass flywheels, exept the superlight ones, and every forum is all about light flywheels. I'm alone in the shadows here.
I just want a recommendations about some good, regular single mass flywheels and clutches that will make my car just a bit more energetic, without all the drawbacks of a sub 7kg superlight flywheels.

Thanks.

You can find a range of use from every manufacturer. Each one that makes a clutch for the car will offer an OEM replacement, and the more performance directed ones will offer stages. Usually stage 1 being stock, 2 being a step up, then 3 and 4 and up being 6, 4, or 3 puck. I like using stage 2 in street applications with minor upgrades like intake and exhaust. Feels like stock, but will grab a little better and hold up to spirited driving because the disk should be made out of some kind of Carbon Kevlar or heat resisting material. It's still a full circle and wont have a rough apply. The flywheel is up to you on however much you want to spend. The lighter weight, the more expensive.

Here is one from Spec. which is a good brand. A little expensive, but one to consider. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SPEC-ST882-...YAAOSwYc5dgVyE

In case you cant find Supra parts, you can do a SC300 swap, its exactly the same.
