Default 2000 a4 1.8t clutch question

I am looking at replacing my clutch and don't know which way to go.

I see luk and sachs kits on ebay for cheap and don't know if I should just order from there.

Also at 140k with original clutch should I replace the flywheel or just have it cut.

What are the advantages of an 11lb flywheel and stage one clutch ( I am looking for a little more acceleration but not racing)

Can I use a luke or sachs with a lighter flywheel are there any advantages.

It looks like $250 for kit and $250 for flywheel off ebay

i wouldn't buy a clutch off of ebay. i made that mistake once with my mustang and it only causes u trouble and more money. south bend clutches are really good. i would look into them if i were you

the ebay thing is more of a preference of mine due to many past issues. i'd say an oem clutch from a reputable STORE and not a member would be ok to do.
