Clutch + Flywheel Kit Opinions

Hey everyone, I'm looking to replace my clutch and since I'm in the area...I was looking at the possibility to replace the flywheel too.

Now, my R56 is still stock but soon will have some tuning done. I like the "clutch masters kit" I'm looking to decide between:

FX100 and FX250?

Aluminum or Steel flywheel?

if there's someone out there that has done this...please share your experience.

I just replaced the clutch in our CM. Check out JM Turbos Here I bought stock clutch kit and flywheel since my wife drives the CM the most. They have several stage kits, and single mass flywheels.

We've had nothing but failures with the clutchmaster kits so we won't even install them anymore or recommend them so I'd avoid that.
If it's is a street car I'd go back with the stock clutch.

If you want an upgrade to a race style the OS Giken is the best

We recommend the OEM and the OS Giken Upgrade kit.

Is it ok to use a singlemass (steel) flywheel with an OEM clutch kit? If so, can you recommend a singlemass flywheel to me for a R56S N14?

You don't want to put the stock clutch on a non dual mass flywheel. Since the stock clutch isn't sprung you will usually get chatter since there is no give in it.
