Default New PP and flywheel bolts?

Should I replace with new during clutch install? Driver , not a race car.

Yes... the factory bolts arent the best things in the world and its not worth having the clutch come apart. 15 bucks at the dealer should get them all or 50 bucks worth of arps... I did factory at first and for my new clutch went and got the arps.... much better quality

Not essential, but new ones are cheap, so may as well replace them, flywheel anyway.

PP bolts are rarely anything spectacular, nor do they need to be.

when i replace my stock clutch with the ls7 clutch i reused my stock bolts and it was totally fine with over 80k miles on a cammed ls1. when i replace my ls7 with a tdp stage 2 i replace them with arp, because the arp bolts were inexpensive. u dont have to replace the bolts but arp bolts were pretty damn cheap for quality bolts

Thanks Guys. T56 territory is new to me. Just paranoid on the weak links that are cheap to rectify, or waste a weekend pulling it back apart and inventing new foul language. Thanks again.
