need help deciding on new clutch/flywheel

its time to replace the clutch in my 03 max and im torn on what to do. should i just replace it with the stock one or go for the lightweight flywheel and the 350z clutch. any suggestions on what to do would b appreciated. also does the 350z clutch have to be from nissan or would an exedy oem replacement work? maybe its a stupid question but im new and dont wanna screw anything up. thanks again

I was debating the same question as well. I decided to get the fidanza lightweight flywheel and exedy stage 1 clutch that is listed for the car and I am very happy.

350z clutch will require you to shave off some of your tranny. I wasnt down for that.

One thing to remember is if you stick with a stock flywheel then go with an unsprung disc and if you go with an aftermarket lightweight non dual mass flywheel then go with a sprung clutch.
