Default New a new clutch

My clutch is about shot and so are my front CV joints so i'm going to replace all of them at the same time. I was wondering what is a recommended (cheap) clutch set that I can get for just normal in town driving. I don't need anything that will handle more then the stock system did as i'm not planned on doing anything to the engine. Also are there any pointers / tips on how to replace the clutch beyond what the Haynes manual says?

Thanks,
-Tyler

I have just got a kit for mine.
Try a Valeo solid flywheel kit, which includes a solid flywheel (to replace the dualmass) clutch, pressure plate and thrust bearing.

The dualmass flywheels are very expensive from audi, and your existing one cant be machined.
