clutch and flywheel setups
i have a 2000 s2k and i think my clutch is about smoked. what would be a good clutch and flywheel setup. ive always had good luck with act clutchs and would the street strip clutch be good with the spoon flywheel? who would have the best prices on these items thanx

I personally do not like ACT products, their quality control is a little too hit-or-miss for my liking. When I upgrade, it will be a Competition Stage 2 clutch with Competition 11lb. flywheel. If you're alright with ACT products, then Hardtop Guy sells a decent package that comes with a Comptech lightened flywheels, ACT preasure plate, and OEM disk. This setup can hold plenty of power, boosted or N/A.

Hmm....
Of the 20 or so ACT units I've installed, all have been trouble free.
The two out of two Competition Clutch unit I've installed have MASSIVE decel buzz. Worse than than an older car which has the worst buzz from the factory.
I wonder if Competiton Clutches makes a pressure plate that can be used with a stock disc. CC relies on the disc friction, not the clamping load of the PP. That's how they achieve the soft pedal and great bite.

Competition Clutch stage 2 on the civic and ironman on the S2000 still with no issues at all and gobs of grip.
The ACT's also have their share of cases with buzzing:

As well as OEM setups:

It's all hit or miss. Also having a messed up drivetrain system doesn't help with noise.

Okay, I have to ask because I've been looking as well. I've looked at the ACT set up because it seems to be the most talked about, but has anybody herd of or used the (Cusco Hyper) or the ( Center force dual friction)?
I'm really wanting to do a Comptech SC in the near future, but waht to be set up first.
I found a place, (www.modacar.com) and they sell all of the above.
Any feed back on these set-ups would be appreciated.
