I like the exedy stage ones a lot because they grab pretty well and also they are good for everyday driving. I've never tried stage 2 but I have a stage 3,6 puck clutch that I bought used from a friend, don't know the brand and it is decent as well with my stock flywheel. a lot of people like 12lb flywheels for everday driving but everyone has their own opinion

I still have a stock clutch in my EP but my EK has a Competition Stage 1.5 clutch and I have a 10lb Fidanza flywheel and I frickin' love it. Pedal feel is awesome and that thing grabs hard, chirp the crap out of 4th gear haha. Pedal isn't too stiff like with a lot of aftermarket clutches, just a little stiffer than stock. CC FTW!!

exedy stage 1 or competition clutch stage 1 are very good as for flywheel I would go with the new clubrsx exclusive competition clutch flywheel which is only 10 pounds which is not too light and not to heavy!

The exedy 8 lbs flywheels is a little too light for DD but for the track it would be alot better!

Are you even pushing that much power??? I really don't think so but anyways... I would recommend using a Stage 1 or Stage 2 at most! Certainly because its going to be DD but also because you don't have enough power to use a higher grade of clutch... it would be overkill for no reason...
