If you're planning under 400tq, I'd go for the SPEC clutch kit that re-uses the dual mass flywheel to keep the drivability and ease of use.

In my 3.8T, I've got a Spec clutch kit. I've had it for a little over half a year now, and still feels good. Customer service is also very good in case you have any hiccups during the install
I am experiencing an issue with my SPEC stage 1 clutch kit. It chattered right after install and I am talking right after start-up and during idle. We called spec within a week of the install and they told us to keep it in for the rest of the break in period (500 miles) and it should go away. Fast forward to now and it chatters WAY loud. I also have a grinding/slipping noise when pulling out on a really steep hill. I drive 45 miles each way to work (highway) and I have never raced my car before. i do not even know if i could deliberately destroy a clutch in 12,000 miles.
