Default clutch replacement

well my car just hit 90,000 miles well today it has about 90,300. about a week before i went to the Harris Hill gymkhana this past saturday, i was driving with my mom and had to pop the clutch to avoid getting hit in traffic. i felt my clutch slip a little and i thought to myself "thats strange". then at harris hill towards the end of the event i felt my clutch not grabbing as much so then i didnt pop my clutch after that. so the question is what is a good replacement clutch for my S i was thing maybe a stage 1 F1 clutch! with my datsun i just replaced the clutch and then use it but i have heard that with the S i should get a new flywheel with the new clutch do i have to can i use my flywheel?

I am interested in this too, ive been looking into whats a good replacement clutch but havnt come across anything concrete yet. I have heard the AP1 flywheel is better over AP2 but what about the AP1 compared to some aftermarket ones, anyone got one on their car, or have tried any?

I just resurfaced my stock flywheel when I put a new clutch in the silver S2k. 127k miles on it at this point and clutch disc #2.

I helped a local guy around fort hood replace his clutch with a F1 stage 2 kit and also s2k_2fast4u with his too. From what I got from the local is that the stage 2 feels/grabs better that the OEM clutch. But I'm not sure on the reliability.

Waiting for s2k_2fast4u to respond, he's had his for a few months now.

I got a F1 racing flywheel, feels really good. Just don't get the F1 racing clutch, has way too much chatter.

I dont want anything that is gonna be heavier or louder, im looking for somthing comparable to the stock clutch but that can maybe endure a little more abuse and grip a bit better. I dont want anything to crazy tho cuz i know the s2k diff cant take a lot of abuse.

Has anyone used HTG's setup? comes with ACT lightened Flywheel, ACT HD pressure plate, OEM disc, and OEM throw out bearing.
