Replacement clutch

My clutch release bearing is noisy so I have decided to pull the box and change the whole clutch. I think I am running approx 360+ rwhp, so I'm after something which would take further mods I guess about 500hp. There are many on ebay, do any particular brands come highly rated, also I have noticed some hybrid flywheels. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

    I'm using the RPS Max street and RPS flywheel setup (now SpecialtyZ):

    Smooth take up, heavier pedal feel than stock, but not so much as to be tiring. Flywheel has rebuildable facing.

     

    You should also consider replacing the stock pressed steel pivot fork with updated cast iron pivot fork:

    JoelyP is using the later version which has a lighter feel to the pedal than my version:
