Clutch Replacement

Looking to upgrade clutch... sticking with DMF as drivability is important for street driving...question on the following:

Are others moving to CMAK setup or CSC HD upgrade? I have have the CSC HD V1 now (been 10 years strong!) so im new to the CMAK upgrade.

Flywheel and Pressure Plate Bolts - Are you guys replacing with ARP for strength or reusing stock bolts? Mine have about 90k on them so figuared id ask if its a worthwhile upgrade

Replacing ACT HD clutch which as been awesome, I see they have an extreme line that claims to hold to 545 TQ level.....Any have and enjoy?

Thanks for the help!

When it was time for mine, I went with a Stage 2 clutch from ZSpeed. South Bend IIRC makes theirs. Slightly stronger sprung cover plate and sprung hub disc, on a lightweight steel FW. Also went with the ZSpeed HD CSC, line, and the ARP bolt set that ZSpeed sells (they basically have an install kit with redline/motul fluids and all the hardware). For what i was spending on labor, made sense to replace everything inside at once.

Prior to Infiniti, my go-to with RX-7s was the ACT HD on a Prolite flywheel, so I know that setup pretty well. I think the ZSpeed is a little softer grabbing, but power handling should be similar.

If I have any regrets, it's that I went with the 20# steel lightweight flywheel and I should have gone lighter. I don't really notice the LWFW at all.

CMAK for me wasn't an option because no one would install it and I don't have the resources to do a trans swap myself (IE, lift).
