Default Clutch/flywheel recommendations for 535xi

Hey everyone,

During my catless downp!pe install I noticed that my rear main is leaking more than I'd like for being just under 80k miles. So with that in mind I might as well replace the clutch, flywheel, throw out bearing, and pilot bearing while I am in there.

My end goals for the car is to be around 500-550 awhp so I'll for sure need something better/stronger than OEM. I don't do any launching or plan to. Mainly just spirited driving on fun roads and the occasional high speed pulls from a roll.

My thoughts are to at least get the M-Factory single mass flywheel unless there are better options out there. But when it comes to the actual clutch, I thought I'd reach out and see what other members are recommending before I make the jump. I know Evan (ucsbwsr) is running the Spec Stg 3+ but I really don't know what else is ideal for our cars in that hp range.

I'm not terribly worried about how stiff the pedal is but would like it to not be ridiculously stiff. Thanks for y'alls input!
