Default Upgrading Clutch & Flywheel

Im looking to upgrade my clutch and flywheel here shortly but i am unsure as to which brand parts to go with. There are quite a few options so i figured id ask you itr owners which you prefer and which you'd reccomend.

Current set-up. Jdm itr swap, lots of bolt on's "stock head/bottom end" and right around 200-205whp. How-ever i may in the near future be adding a 50-75 shot of nitrous so id like a clutch thats strong but also will suport my future plans.

Flywheel- Ive heard toda makes a great light-weight flywheel but also heard its around $400. If the performance justifys the cost than i am still interested in that how-ever ive also heard some good things about Fidanza's flywheels. I believe its right around 7.5lb's about half the weight of the stock flywheel and its only around $150'.

Clutch- Im currently still on the stock clutch and with the help of the omni master cylinder it feels great how-ever while im upgrading the flywheel i might as well do the clutch and get it over with. Especially sense i will be getting some track time on her once winter has passed. The car will eventually be daily driven but i am also thinking of adding a nice 50-75 direct port sometime during the summer if i get bored with the power level so id like something that can hold its ground but also have plenty of room for more power. Ive had a 6 puck sprung on my old d16 boosted set-up and it felt fine, it surely was hard on the leg the first few weeks but honestly after getting used to it i really liked the hard/short enguagement.

With all of that said what would you reccomend?

Can't go wrong with the Exedy Stage 1 and the Exedy Chrome-molly flywheel. Can handle you're HP numbers, has a smooth engagement, long life, and tons of grabbing power.

That's my setup

If it helps I researched this very same subject about a year ago. After tons of debate this is what I ended up with and couldn't be happier.

This is what I am running in my track car. So far so good. Zero break in period too, just right out the track and beat on it. (Track, not drag strip)

I've heard fidanza fly wheels can break. The teeth (metal band) come off the flywheel becuaes they are pressed on. I've never seen it happen but this is what made me steer away from fidanza.

We sell performance clutches for a great price, and had very good results with these in our cars, and customers.
