what engine / transmission do u have ? mods ?

id think , best to get HD clutch - which consists of ( on dseries engines , might be different on b series etc) a stock clutch disc , and a slightly heavier clamping pressure plate ( 20+/-% increase in clamping pressure/torque transfer or so im told.

Yeah there is no problem with using a standard clutch and a lightweight flywheel as long as you get it balanced. But you should be able to get heavy duty organic clutch for not much more than a standard clutch.

depends on what you use it for

if regularly street driven, i would reccommend getting no more than a HD organic clutch for ease of use. i personally have a diakin organic clutch (with lighter flywheel). Its fine for both street and strip. It cost around $600 fitted and balanced to the flywheel at a very reputable performance workshop, so really it costs no more than getting new standard clutch.

i think a oem honda delsol clutch is more then enough for the power that im puting out.
i just want to accelerate faster plus have the soft feel of the standard clutch

i have had a few ppl claim that lightweight flywheels have caused them to stall as there is less inertia due to it being so light, can anyone shed any light on this?
