OEM release bearing vs. aftermarket
Hey guys, I've been putting up with my car chirping at me long enough and I'm going to replace the throw out/release bearing through work before spring (as well as a a/c compressor thats been tapping potentially involved in an TSB). I'll be replacing the clutch with an aftermarket performance kit and a lightweight flywheel while the mechanics are down there anyways to that aspect over and done with. What I want to know is if the OEM release bearing has any kind of gain over an aftermarket TOB that comes with a clutch kit or vice versa. I don't want to hear that chirp for a looong time. I told my work (which also happens to be my servicing dealership, woop deals) I'll be supplying the parts, RRM recently started offering the OEM release bearing for a decent price, but should I worry about replacing a clutch kit TOB or not?
Or as far as some of you might be concerned they come out of the same factory anyways
Let me know! thanks.

Strange but my master cylinder has been fine for 2 years on a stage 3 clutch.
As for the rest of my transmission though it's toast....new bearings for input shaft /output shaft /rear main seal/slave cylinder and new clutch/flywheel.
