I personally would go with the street lite, it's 11lbs but still good weight, this is assuming you are just going to street drive it. For drag still with stock and for auto cross go with the fidanza.
If you ever plan on going awd I would forget the stagering, or expect to spend a ton of time trying to find a tire that's the exact same size, which i imagine would be pretty difficult from what Mike said when he was trying to do the same.
Your other options for bolts is go to bolts plus with a turbo bolt and get them to find you the correct ones, they won't be oem but they will be as strong if not stronger. The only thing I would make sure is oem is the lock washers unless you decide to use locktite (not sure what the consensus on that is)

The ACT Streetlite is actually 13lbs, and definitely a great flywheel. Jason has more experience with the Southbend clutches, so I would heed his advice. Don't do staggered fit wheels. I could write you a couple paragraphs as to why it's a bad idea, but I'm at work so you'll have to just trust me. This is the turbo bolt set you should use. This is the exhaust manifold stud kit you'll want (for a 7 bolt), if you need to replace yours. Do not skimp on these parts. DSMs don't like being built on a budget. If you can't afford OEM hardware and gaskets for key components like your turbo, don't be thinking about buying upgrades like a lightened flywheel.

Well then I would head over the dsmtuners and take a look at the supporting vendors and then compare prices. EDIT: Found this http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/fre...uy-oem-parts-besides-junkyards-ebay.html

That's why I asked. But regardless, it's just not worth it on a FWD car. Purely a cosmetic enhancement that actually hinders performance...I think the right term here is rice?!? Either way, you're in good hands with this community to keep you on track with where to spend your money. Ziggy FTW!

I am on the Southbend Stage 3 drag. It is a 2200lb pressure plate with a 6 puck ceramic sprung disk. The pedal pressure is very light, almost similar to OEM. My first impression was that this clutch was going to slip with the power I am making. After about 100 to 200 km breakin I started pounding on this sucker and so far it has held everything I have thrown at it including numerous 6500rpm tire cooking launches. For a single disk setup, so far this has been my favourite over any ACT setup. I'm all about using the least amount of clutch as possible now, instead of going overkill like a 2600 or 2900 when it is not needed, especially with a 6 puck disk So far this is working out beautifully. If this clutch can hold up to my slicks next year, I will stick with this setup going forward.

So it turns out that staggering has been done successfully and by a big name at that, Shep! You will just need to search a lot so that you can find something that has the same diameter.

An ACT 2100 will be fine for you. Your left leg would not have appreciated the 2600, which is considerable overkill for your setup.
I would try to attempt the transmission swap yourself (with support from the board, of course). It's not fun, but it is fairly straightforward, and not nearly as disgusting as doing it on an AWD 2g. If you learn now, you'll save yourself big bucks next time you need a new clutch or have a transmission issue.
