Default Couple of clutch questions for the W58

Hey guys, I searched and didnt find much for my questions. First off, would this clutch work for me, as I am basically stock and dont think im going to be pushing over 400HP anytime soon? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/F1-RA...Q5fAccessories
If not, what do you use? I just need help finding a decently cheap clutch that will hold up...
As for the next question...do I have to replcae the flywheel at the same time? Im on a slim budget...so thats why im asking

Also a brake question....are ebay brakes D/S good? lol I need rotors and pads and seems like $200 is a pretty damn good price....not trying to be cheap just dont have much $ right now as I just bought the car

I have the Centerforce Stage 1 and I love it. It feels like stock and can hold a decent amount of power. (doesn't slip at all for me)

As for the flywheel, if it's in good shape, you just need to have it resurfaced.

The clutch in your ebay link looks like an ACT replica. Im sure it will work but Im not sure if it will hold up to those numbers. It is up to you if you want to replace the flywheel. My suggestion would be getting it resurfaced unless you are in the market for an upgrade.

Resurface the flywheel a hell of a lot cheaper you just need to find someone that will do the work. The lower the stage the easyer the engaugement. If you DD this car and don't want to wrench your neck go with a stage 2 full face,or 6 puck clutch setup.

I have this particular clutch in my SC now. Going on 2 years now without problems. I just ordered the ACT HD clutch for replacement due to my throwout bearing in making noise.
