Looking for my first clutch

Getting a new clutch for my 14' and I'm realizing there are many options out there. I don't know if clutch compound makes a difference to the abuse of a flywheel but it has crossed my mind. I'm doing the normal CBE, drop-in, 3 port, FMIC, upper and lower ic pipes and TP. I want to believe that Works makes a good option but I have no idea. Could you suggest a more stock like feel clutch that will hold power? Thanks. And sorry but I did search and there has been nothing lately posted about clutches.

Don't be an idiot like me and put in a segmented ceramic without reason. They don't last nearly as long as an organic. My Comp Stage 3 lasted 10,000 miles, no launching and very conservative driving. I'm running an Exedy Stage 1 with full bolt-ons now.

Is it necessary to replace the cmc with this clutch?

Well then I vote for Comp stage 2 like I have. It's holding up well so far.
And yes I'd do the CMC while you're at it just for good measure.

ACT HDSS with the streetlight flywheel. By far the easiest and most comfortable to drive IMO.

Comp Stage 2 with OEM flywheel here. Great combo for the street.

Make sure you get an ACT Monoloc no matter what clutch you go with (as I assume you will be doing a single puller and not some exotic pusher conversion).

Comp stage 4 .... not fun for traffic. It does have a nice, heavy feel, and it definitely bites hard, but whenever this thing burns out I'll be putting in a full disc clutch. If you're Daily Driving, stick with the full disc. If you're looking for an on/off switch of a clutch, this thing is pretty damn good at doing that.
