What's the best clutch kit for our G?

I need a new clutch very soon and I am looking to pick the brains in some of you who change your clutch already, I am running stock with some bolt on for now, but going to used a supercharger soon.
I own a 2008 sport coupe. What brand what stage and how many parts kits should I buy.
Thanks guys,

OS gilken

Agreed this is the nicest when it comes to power handling ability and clutch pedal... Also the nicest when it comes to price...(not in a good way). To refine his question if i may. He is bolt on but will be going supercharger... so using logic probably 330 to 430 ft pounds of trq depending on unit and stage 1 or 2. What would reliably hold that power without to much clutch pedal increase and without breaking the bank......

Is that what you were trying to ask. If thats the case then jim wolf normally does decent work with his kit and stillen uses an ACT with their machines flywheel i believe.

Any other thoughts guys.....

Os is way expensive

Very expensive but also the nicest in quality. I think they run around 2k to 3k depending on what your looking for.

I payed 1,991 for the Giken 2 piece, I'm installing the TT GTM kit. It might be more expensive, but what I've seen and heard about it is nothing but great.
