That one is easy - www.ringer-racing.com. Owned by a member of this forum and you'll be in good hands. Call and ask for Mike Hood.

Learn to love RockAuto.com $189 for the clutch kit, $781 for the flywheel. Both from Sachs, pretty solid brand. No way around it, you're gonna have to bend over for the flywheel. It's all fancy and complicated, makes for nice shifting though.

Edit:
Clutch kits don't include the Flywheel. They'll have the Pilot and throwout bearings, Pressure plate, clutch disk and an alignment tool. Most flywheels can be resurfaced, which is an option if your's is lower mileage, but it's generally frowned upon. The OE flywheel is a dual mass jobber, basically two flywheels connected together, allowing some movement. Takes a bit of the jerk away from the shifting. I have heard of one piece eliminator flywheels, should be cheaper.

Flywheels should be able to be resurfaced so you might not haft to buy a new one

I wouldn't resurface a dual mass (not many people can do it correctly anyways)
But 700+ for one is ridiculous a single mass would be cheaper and better.

That's why he needs to talk to Mike - all of his options will be presented and he can choose from there.
