Default Clutch replacement time...what are my best options??

Clutch is giving out and I'm wondering do I stick with ordering a OEM clutch or upgrade? I enjoy ripping around a lot but I'm not looking for anything expensive, so what's my best option here...? Budget is probably $400 max, but the cheaper the better...

Not sure what your going to find under $400... I highly recommend here Also note if you don't plan on DIY most places are looking around $700 for install

Sachs clutch kit; get your FW machined from a place that is set up to handle dual-mass flywheels... assuming the FW isn't too damaged.

Or else go for Southbend from Ringer Racing (linked above) and add the option for machining the stock flywheel. But you'll have to disassemble it first and send the FW in. I just sent mine in last week; not sure how long the turnaround time is for the machining.
