I recommend a kevlar clutch. Do some research on kevlar as a clutch material. 50k on my kevlar clutch and it still feels new with no signs of wear on my flywheel.

Also for a daily driver you will hate a lightweight flywheel, but don't take my word for it. Your probly gonna do it anyways, so i'll just say i told ya so.

You say for DD driving?
sure clutch and flywheel are a great combo, however, stop and go is not fun with a light flywheel. its a D series, may i suggest not to spend the money. if you just want more clamping load, get the PP plate and leave it at that.
the stock flywheel is 22lbs i think. not 100% sure tho. fidanze is normally 7.5lbs for the D and B.
Why is it that you want to upgrade your PP and clutch/fly anyway?

I agree with him, my H22 light fly is a bitch daily driving, its just anoying as hell having to Rev up the motor b4 you shift each time. and when others drive your car, they will jerk it around, thus pissing you off

if you want to change your flywheel, get a oem one and have a machine shop shave it off a few pounds maybe 4, it will make somewhat of a difference, and for clutches exedy is great , but i have a act street in my d series and ACt is everything you pay for, its great and 15k so far and it still grips really hard. Its all up to preference if you like a soft clutch go with exedy. as for the flywheel, its a d series you really dont need a 7.5 pound flywheel.

Exedy stage one clutch kit with fidanza flywheel is a great choice.
