Default 99 GSR clutch & flywheel?????

I got a 99 GSR. Looking to replace the clutch and flywheel. New to the "Honda" thing so I dunno what brands or websites offer GOOD parts and have decent customer service. Anyone got any sites for me? Thanks!

Exedy is OEM. Luk also makes a good OEM spec clutch kit. Stick with a stock flywheel or upgrade to an ITR flywheel. I personally wouldn't go any lighter than an ITR. Your best bet is OEM, through and through.

lol, yeah, upgrade. I still think you should stick with a stock flywheel or a 12.5 lb. ACT streetlite/light/whatever. 12.5 lbs. is kinda on the low side of ideal.

Get your clutch from Bay city clutches, good prices and they know their shit. get the four puck sprung kevlar clutch and the silver pressure plate(not really sure what its called). you can get both for high 2's or low 3's

I went to Bay city and they showed me the 4 puck Kevlar/metallic clutch kit (everything needed for install) but I was quoted $390 out the door? Did you get a better price or a different clutch?

For anyone interested it's not called bay city clutches anymore, its Tampa Clutch Supply.
