Default What clutch to compliment an otherwise stock car?

The clutch on my mom's 2001 S2k is needing replacement. The car's powetrain is completely stock right now. The only mods we may do are an Invidia exhaust and maybe a short-ram intake. Even though my mom mainly drives the car, she has a little racer in her and she likes to drive the car briskly. Also, my brother and I take the car out every now and then so it doesn't only get babied. Do you guys think at stock clutch would be fine for our application? Are there any aftermarket clutch disks that would suit us better? I would like to keep the stock PP and FW too. Thanks for your answers.

As suggested *many* times before, a great combo is the stock clutch, ACT pressure plate, comptech lightened flywheel.

Keeping the stock flywheel and stock pressure plate, with a third party clutch disk will likley buy you nothing. The pressure plate is much more the weak point in the car than the disk itself.

From what you say you're doing with the vehicle, get a new OEM clutch.
