get it from specclutch. if you're not gonna go bt you won't need a light weight flywheel. labor should be like 300 at least.

the clutch will continue to get worse and worse. mine started slipping under WOT, then would slip under most throttle, then part throttle, and then finally got to where any sort of decent acceleration caused it to slip. The more it slips, the more you'll damage your flywheel, but if you drive it like a grandma, it'll still last for a while. i think mine slipped for a little over a year lol.

for a new one, i would suggest only Southbend. better pedal feel than spec. and if you pm Andrei (slayerrule) over on AZ he'll give you a discount. get stage 1 if you just want a replacement, stage 2 is better for chipped cars and you'll be able to launch it, stage 3 for small to mid sized BT.

nope, unless upgrading to a lwfw, your stock dmfw should last the life of your car. the more your clutch slips tho the more you'll damage it. but as long as your easy on the acceleration, it shouldn't slip and therefore cause no damage
