Default New clutch & lightened Flywheel search

Hey all,

Just split the box on the WRX. Turns out somehow the flywheel was cracked and the clutch that's only been put on 10k ago is gouged -.-

So...
I've come across this

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FAST-ROAD....c100005.m1851

It's a stage 1 organic clutch. Basically driveable but slightly stronger by the sounds of things, but its from a company called TechniClutch. Has anyone ever heard of them? It's only £185 which is between £60 and £150 cheaper then I can find the Exedy clutches which I've heard are good.

The second problem is whilst I'm here I need a flywheel and thought might as well get a lightened one whilst everything is apart. Can anyone recommend where to get a lightened flywheel for a decent price? I did find 5.8kg wheel from somewhere recently but a)I cannot remember where and b) it was about £450 which I don't really see as worth it in a WRX that I'm looking to take to about 330-360 bhp in the long run.

Any help would be appreciated!

So I narrowed it down to RTS STAGE 2 Pack £558.92 or Competition Clutch stage 2 £591.01

Now 2 questions does anyone know of stage 2 is okay for the road? And also are RTS okay? I've heard they use Chinese bearings and arent always as reliable

I got my 566lb/ft ACT for my current build and an Exedy from Alyn at AS Performance. His advice and service is second to none.

I have the competition clutch stage 2 and lightened flywheel on my car and it’s absolutley fine, feels like a stock clutch but rated for high power, it’s not really grabby so no issues in traffic or pulling away
