Clutch pressure plate

Is it ok to reuse the stock pressure plate with a new clutch in an effort to retain stock clutch pedel feel? The reason I wont just get another stock clutch is because I want to go with a lightened flywheel and therefore would need a sprung hub clutch to absorb the gear chatter. If this isnt possible I'll just get the UUC flywheel and clutch combo. Does anyone have the UUC lightened flywheel and clutch combo?

I don't know if LUC provides one for a Mini but my truck has a solid (Lightened) flywheel to replace it's dual mass plate. With this came a sprung clutch and a nice heavy duty (Lightened) pressure plate with significantly less effort needed to actuate the clutch. Works like a charm w/ over 900 ft/lbs of torque. I'de also look into Centerforce for a similar product.
