New Clutch/Flywheel Help Needed

New Clutch/Flywheel Help Needed
I am scouting prices for parts for a new clutch and flywheel.
I was wondering if the kit comes with everything you need, or if you need additional nuts/bolts/bearings, or anything that needs to be ordered separately.
I plan on doing my own clutch. Between myself and my buddy, we have all the tools, stands, and jacks to do the job, I just dont want to screw up, as this is my first clutch replacement. I am going to order the Bentley manual today, and hope to do the install within a few weeks. I only see the manual available on Amazon for 90$, but I had heard of people getting it cheaper when I searched the forum.
I have a completely stock system currently, but plan on upgrading the turbo/intercooler, sway bars, coilovers, and chip it. So taking into consideration of the future performance i want to get, what is the best kit for the clutch/FW? and what stage? I, II, III, etc?
I wanna build this car up right, not skimping on any weak or poorly designed parts, but I also want to be reasonable in the price, because the dealership is asking for my leg to pay for a clutch/FW replacement. Any help is great, and from my browsing over the past weeks, you guys are great.

Exactly. And Mike is a forum member so you're supporting one of our own. Mike is well-known here and very helpful - hell, he called me back on a Sunday night to answer a question I had on a clutch install and I hadn't even bought from him. Speaks volumes, and he's got all the knowledge on the topic you could ever need.

You can send me a PM, email or even call me if you want to talk about clutch kits. I will be gone this weekend drag racing my car at the Import Face Off event in Las Vegas this weekend, so I might not get back to you till Monday.
Email and # are on my web site that was linked up above.

Well got back late last night from the event. Car did not run well at all. For some reason it had a small misfire issue at the top of 1st and 2nd gear but ran good in 3rd/4th. Never really got it off the line all that well since I was just making sure the transmission would stay together. My 60 ft times were in the 2.00-2.9 seconds. Car ran mid to high 12's with 120-128 MPH all day long. Qualified next to last, but got lucky and #2 qualifier must have broke during qualifying because they did not show up for the 1st round. I ended up with bye's the rest of the way till the semi's but actually should have had a bye up to the finals. Seems some had some pull with the race officials to get them to get them a bye in the semi finals so they could place 2nd with a broken car.
