Default Another clutch question??

Hey guys, sorry for the question, but I couldn't really find my answer through searching... Here it goes:

I'm replacing my clutch on my 2000 WS-6 after 26k miles. I'm buying a Spec stage 3 or 3i, but I don't know too much about clutches. Which parts should I replace? Everything? Flywheel? Pressure Plate? Should I just have it resurfaced?

Any information you could provide would be great. Thank you!!!!

Im not an expert, but this is what I have read.

You should get a new flywheel instead of resurfacing it. Supposedly our stock flywheels warp easily when resurfaced.

I have a clutch swap in the works and this is what I have planned.

- Updated GM Hydraulics
- New Pilot Bearing
- Spec Stage 3
- Spec Billet Steel Flywheel

Thanks for the reply. I only have 26k on the car right now and my current GM hydraulics (slave cylinder) isn't leaking so I think I'll just get the clutch kit with flywheel and pilot bearing. Good idea?

Anything else I should consider replacing at this time (Clutch related)?

Thanks.

You should upgrade to the '01-'02 hydraulics... you'll thank yourself later.
