Replacing Clutch/Need advice

Hey all,
I am going to replace my clutch/flywheel in the next few weeks and I was looking for opinions on some aftermarket products. I have done some research on both and I mainly want to hear from the people who have tried some aftermarket clutch kits. I am toying with the idea of a supercharger at some point down the road so the thought of a stage 2 clutch is going around in my head. Does the clutch pedal stiffness go up a lot with the stage 2? Are there any disadvantes to a higher torque rated clutch when it comes to ride quality? Let me hear what you all think.

Also, any vendor reccomendations are welcome.

Thanks,
Pierce

Also, I found some aftermarket kits on Andy's but I don't know much about them as a vendor.

I will know soon how mine turns out. I went with a clutchmasters stage 1 kit with the light flywheel. I've heard good things.

Just go with the LUK clutch kit and save your $$$. It's the OEM without the Honda name on the package.

I recently installed this kit and it works like a charm.

Where did you find the LUK kits? The places ive looked mostly seem to be out of stock or no longer selling the kit.

Have you tried www.rockauto.com? They have 'em!

Last I checked, about $158 + shipping.
