Default Need help picking a Clutch/Flywheel!?

So I have a 2013 V6 Mustang I am in need of a new Clutch so looking to make it an upgrade. I would prefer to purchase from Americanmuscle.com there are really only 2 clutch kits on there that look good for what I have.

RDX: http://www.americanmuscle.com/ramclutch-hdx-1114v6.html
Spec Stage 1: http://www.americanmuscle.com/spec-s...ch-1112gt.html

And they only have 3 Flywheels for V6's: http://www.americanmuscle.com/1112-m...flywheels.html

I really dont know much about clutches or flywheels so I would really appreciate some input before I make a purchase.

-Thanks in Advance!

And, so what do you have (Performance Mods) that you need to upgrade from a OEM clutch/flywheel set-up ?

What makes you think you need a new flywheel? You should be able to reuse your stock one, either the way it is or by resurfacing it.

I was just told when people replace their clutch they normally get a new flywheel as well.

If they're buying a different weight flywheel for competitive purposes or buying one because the original one cannot be salvaged due to abuse, that's one thing.


But in my experience, flywheels are pretty durable things. The little 10.4" flywheel in the 1979 Malibu I had outlasted the original 305 engine and its transmission, the replacement 350 and a second transmission, and is still usable after use with a third different powertrain and at least that many pressure plates/discs/throwout bearings. Something like 175,000 miles in all, with three different drivers. Just no dragstrip use (that I know of).
