...I wonder if we can get enough people to jump on this. Group buy maybe?
If so, I'm in.

PM me if it happens.

Thanks man. I use my car as a dailly driver and definitely don't want a heavier than stock peddle. Lighter parts and better grabs is a plus though.
Here are a few links to get started. I can

FWIW I have the Toda lightened flywheel and PP as well as the Toda Clutch disc and as of yet I am N/A... the car is harder to drive but I have NEVER ground the clutch or gears because of it... it is more OFF/ON than the stock clutch but is very grippy and holds STRONG... I think its great but my s2000 has been driven 2100 miles in the past 14 months... it is not a DD, at best it gets driven 2-3 times per weekend. hope this is helpful...

.....I wonder why the ACT street disc cost about $60 more than the race discs.

because the street disc has more material, more surface, torsion springs for dampening while engaging the clutch = more cost!

Since my car is a daily driver I don't want a stiffer than stock feel on the pedal or a short life-span. Only looking at stage 1/street kits. Anyone have experience with these?

Exedy Kit (this one is the cheapest by $100, is it stiff?)

ACT Clutch Kit


And I'm am still looking into this Spec Clutch kit that was referenced:
