Default Clutch Assembly Questions

So while I was inspecting my pressure plate today I noticed that it had some faint cracking around the outside of it, where the bolt holes are that bolt it to the flywheel. What are my options for replacing it and what about the throw out bearing? I have no clue on that so any help would be much appreciated.

That is a sign of heat and wear,, your best bet will be to replace it, the clutch and pressure plates come as a set. What you should consider is also replacing the slave cylinder also, it is another 100bucks but money well spent, considering you have to drop the trans to replace it, and since your already in there I would do it. I see you are planning a build so If you are considering keeping the T56 I would look into a performance clutch, I ran a monster in mine and it worked perfect.
