Thought it would be worth following up on this one since I did actually make a decision.
My CMC went out completely last week, and although I was lucky enough to already have a CMAK kit waiting on my parts pile, it was silly to waste the labor installing it and not include a clutch.
I opted for EXEDY’s Stage 1 kit, that comes with a 20 lb. flywheel. It was not cheap, but totally worth it. I understand now why going even lighter wouldn’t be hard to manage, since I’m sure I’ll get used to the feel in another day or two. Rev matching on a down shift is almost effortless, and I love the response over the boat anchor bolted to these engines at the factory.
The EXEDY kit is also an excellent option on a street car. It eliminates the dual mass flywheel with no added chatter, which I didn’t expect, and modulates from out to engaged so well I don’t think I’m going to bother upgrading the pedal assembly.
