Default new clutch and flywheel

i have to replace my clutch so i thought while im in there may aswell upgrade the flywheel so my thoughts right now are the rps stage 1 clutch and the 2jz rps 14lb flywheel. Thias its all going to be installed by titan motor sports in orlando who specialize in supra's. I was just wondering if anyone on here has these parts or ahs herd about them at all.
Thanks guys

It's is a good practice to use a "new" pressure plate and disk. Have the flywheel resurfaced, if not replaced. The pilot bearing and throw out bearings are always replaced with a clutch.

Rebuilt clutches are usually questionable at their release and engagement points, since the plate has been resurfaced and cut away.

Consider the need for the after market high performance clutch over the stock design.

The aftermarket is substantially harder to disengage and creates additional stress on the bearings in the transmission and differential when engaged.

They are fine for racing, where RPMs are high during engagement.
