Default Replacing Clutch - What else should be done?

I think I'm going to go with the Spec Stage 1 clutch, I'm just wondering if I should get my flywheel resurfaced, or get a new one. I'm at 84k miles. Also should I replace the throwout bearing? And how would I go about checking to see whether the TO is bad or not?

most clutch kits come with the throw out bearing and input shaft bearing, so you might as well replace everthing.

It doesn't look as if it's included here, tell me if I'm missing something:

And as far as the flywheel?

order it directly from spec they have great customer service this is the way i did imine they even helped my pick the clutch to fly combo correctly since i got a gt stage 2 clutch and a v6 standard flywheeel

anywho back on subject the kit directly from spec comeswithnew hardware and a new pilot bearing andt/o bearing for a very easy install

a tip for the man repacing his clutch make sure you have plenty of freon or laughing gas and a slide hammer with a hook on it to get the pilot bearing out they are pita
