Default for you clutch experts

What part of the clutch wears out first and what would you recommend as a replacement? Thanks.

clutch disk is usually first.

When you replace you have to buy a new disk and pressure plate (most clutches are sold in kits that have both). And you also have to have your flywheel surfaced.

So if you have the money just go out and get a new lighter flywheel (Toda, Comptech, Spoon are all good.... ~$450) and get a new clutch/pressure plate combo from ACT if you want more streetability (~$500... I THINK... not sure) ... or a STAR Stage 3 if you want more trackability.

The ACT uses a reworked, stronger OEM pressure plate and a semi-organic clutch disk

The STAR uses a metallic or carbonkevlar puck disk and a STRONG pressure plate. krazik, mr. Technical Director of S2ki, has this and loves every minute of it.
