sorry, but could you tell me more about this setup?

very easy to drive on daily basis?

It's the oem clutch still so engages just like stock. Some say it's a heavier pedal feel though.

My oem setup felt exactlybtge same though. If installed correctly should be zero buzz or chatter or anything with it.
Very happy with this combo.

It's the clutch and while you're ordering parts, I'd recommend getting new allen bolts that hold your prop shaft. You might be able to loosen and tighten them without distoring the heads, but is it really worth it when the bolts are so cheap? While you're down there you can upgrade your slave cylinder line to a braided stainless unit. They are relatively cheap as well. Check the condition of you axle boots too. Might as well look at it all...

If you're doing this yourself and it's your first clutch change for this car, make sure you have at least 24" of extension. You're gonna need it for the bell housing bolts. Also, get the front end up HIGH.

Definitely your clutch.

I think a braided line is a waste. No benefit at all.

Act prolite flywheel(Chromoly steel), act pressure plate, and oem disc and bearings is a super reliable setup. I have it as do many of my customers.
