which clutch/flywheel would you recommend for my daily driver

my evo when finished will have about 350 to the wheels and my stock clutch is slipping. my evo is my daily driver and i need a recommendation on a clutch and flywheel set. i will be doin some autocrossing and track days as well. I have heard good and bad of the ACT single clutch and flywheel but also heard at the same time that the ACT clutch ruins your synchros over time. Does anyone use the exedy sport or the gikon os? i feel like there are only biased reviews out there. I would get the ACT but dont know about the synchro situation and no one has reviewd the exedy sport. Also, along with the clutch, please give me a suggestion on flywheel too. i do not understand what the difference is between flywheels such as the lbs. and stuff.

thanks in advance

RPS Carbon Carbon.....lots of money, but its cheap to rebuild, no difference in pedal feel, and grabs better and better the hotter it gets!

Been using the Clutch master Stage 3 for over a year without any problems. Pretty close to stock feel and its been holding 400whp daily for about 17k miles. I'm also using the Fidanza flywheel with this setup.

Get the ACT clutch and maybe a fidanza flywheel combo. If you want to save a few $$ just resurface the stock flywheel. The ACT doesn't wear out your synchros, its usually poor shifting by the driver. If your ACT clutch pedal is adjusted properly after the install if will be fine. The problem is, people install the clutch and don't adjust their pedal and when they press the clutch in, it doesn't fully disengage from the flywheel, which in turn makes shifting harder and puts a strain on your synchros. This is true for any clutch.

ACT street clutch. For your power level, anything more than a street disc (organic) will give up some driveability (and longevity) for holding power that you won't necessarily need or use.

My opinion of course would be bias, but here is probably the largest poll (over 230 people) with similar question:

I'm very happy with my ACT HD clutch/Prolite flywheel so far. ProStreet had some sick pricing on it. Similar power level and no shifting issues.
