Default Clutch swap...

Im ready to put my new ACT HD pressure plate with street disc and streetlite flywheel to my 99 si. I wanna know if I should go with the OEM throw-out bearing and pilot bearing or if the ACT stuff will be good enough... I sure it will be but ive heard different things, my gut says go oem. I know I gotta get gaskets and stuff but is there anything else I should replace while im in there?? im ridin in a 99 civic si b16a2 boosted

thanks guys

i did a comp clutch in my 95. i ended up breaking the tab on the throw out bearing. so i bought an oem one. i dont see the pilot bearing having very much stress on it tho. i would use the ones that came with the kit and see how it goes. and i know i just contradicted myself but id use what came with it.

Why would you not use the parts in the kit your are paying for?

How i see it is that the manufacture give you a throwout bearing because its meant to handle the extra pressure from the upgraded clutch.

i would also check the fork and where the fork pivots on
