Default Clutch replacement

Alright, so it's about time for a new clutch, I'm trying to keep the price down, but as of right now my parts are at about 900...I have selected and exedy 400 stage 2, exedy lightweight flywheel, and the exedy master slave/throwout bearing. My question is, do I need to replace the master slave? That's almost 200 I could knock off without that, and if I do need to replace, am I just as well off going with the dorman brand for a good bit cheaper? As of right now the car is an 08 GT with 86,xxx miles. Mods coming, but as of now I only have the diablo trinity tuner. So I know I could go with a stage 1 to shave some money off, but I'd rather have a bit better for the future. Anything I may have left out part wise please let me know, a friend and I will be doing the install(he's a pretty seasoned tech, but not on mustangs) so I'm taking care of ordering the parts.

I went with a Stage 3 Spec clutch and got it with the flywheel and through out bearing for 600 from Hypermotive (http://www.hypermotiveperformance.com/About_Us.html) it is rated to over 700 Ft of torque but I figured better get something to handle my future mods. Talk to Dan and tell him I sent you from this Forum. They carry a lot of brands and are a small company coming up in the market. He will hook you up.
Here is his email dan@hypermotiveperformance.com

Good luck with your choice. I love the Spec clutch and it was easy to install. I have hammered my can multiple times and never slipped.

I didn't change mine but I have heard it is best to replace it while your doing it. I didn't because I didn't want to have to pump the clutch so much after the install.
