Hey ya'll,

I have been looking around for clutches as I need to change the clutch on my 2nd gen IS250 soon. I've been looking at my options and need some advice as this is the first manual car I have owned. I have found the LUK and ASIN kits for around $500CAD. I have also found Stage 1, 2, 3, etc clutch kits from Clutch Masters for around $950CAD. Is it worth paying double to get a Stage 1 or 2 kit if the car is only being daily driven to work? (Car gets driven about 5k KMS per year)

OEM - From the dealer or an online Lexus site. Be prepared they aren't cheap.

What do people think of the Fidanza or Clutchmasters flywheel? What is needed for conversion to single-mass flywheel?

I have a clutchmasters Aluminum flywheel & Aisin pressure plate setup in my is250.
There's a thread on here about the exact setup. Clutch feels good, there's minimal normal noise at idle, low speed rpm lugging is a little noisy but iirc that's pretty normal/typical of these transmissions.
