lightweight flywheel and clutch questions

ok so i want to buy a stage 2 clutch, flywheel and short shifter kit from madness motor works and i was wondering if there are other parts i need to buy to fully support this kit(heavy duty master and slave cylinder) or will the stock parts hold up just fine? i need a flywheel at the minimum but i could do with a heavier clutch(the stock clutch is stupidly light)

Coming from a 370z, the hydraulics were complete ****(CSC would break randomly on the factory clutch) and i had to upgrade everything to heavy duty aftermarket parts just to support the JWT flywheel and clutch i went with(equivalent to a stage 3 370z clutch, good for 600tq), i really dont want my mini to leave me on the side of the road because of a blown master cylinder or slave cylinder

any help is appreciated
Thanks

There's not much history of people having trouble with the other components like the hydraulics. You're fine with those parts.

With that said, the best system by far is OSGiken if you're replacing the clutch and want something better than stock. For me, it would be a decision between stock and OSG.

Stock will hold up fine. You do not need to upgrade the mast cylinder to have a stage 2.

i read here that someone had their OSGiken flywheel locked their motor because it was 3mm thinner than the factory flywheel

I like to make sure everything matches, at least with the clutch and flywheel, i want to avoid as many incompatibilities as i can(in my experiences at least that aftermarket parts tend not to work with other brand aftermarket parts)

did OSGiken revise this flaw? or is there 3mm spacer that will allow for proper installation of their flywheel?

i understand stock will be fine until 270tq, but i might be pushing more than that as im thinking about doing a 50shot on top of full bolt ons and a JB+
