Get the SPEC Stage 2+
Many get the normal 2 and have issues. The ones that get the 2+ never complain.
You dont want to pay for a clutch job twice, do it right the first time
Also I would stick with the SPEC on SPEC, I wouldnt get a Fidanza flywheel, I would keep similar brands together.

lighter weight, in theory it will free up more power. i dont think its needed on a street driven car.
what are your future plans for power??? i hear guys have pretty good luck with the centerforce dfx clutch kit, would save you around $250 over the spec stuff. if you want to spend that kinda money, id go a little more and buy an exedy hyper single, itll take whatever you can throw at it pretty much. i know this sounds like im trying to steer you away from spec. ive never owned a spec clutch, but from the cars ive driven with spec clutches i cant say i want on. they do hold the power, but every one ive driven suffers from random release heights. one time the pedal is high, the next time its low. just something that really annoys me.
whatever you get, dont forget to replace the slave cylender.
