Clutch upgrade for track?
Clutch feels like it doesn't have much life left on it and I figure if I'm gonna replace the clutch why not get a nicer kit.
How do people feel about the OS Gicken kits? This car would be MAINLY track/auto-x but I'd still need to be able to drive it TO the track (no trailer). No major engine mods beyond intake/exhaust and a tune are planned.
Follow-up: Watching some videos on the job and it looks like you need to remove the diff to get to the clutch. Is a limited-slip worth it?

OS Giken is a very nice clutch and one of the best i have seen.

Most people like to do the LSD at the same time since you will have the clutch out/trans out. You get more grip when you loose it in the corners on take off. Giken has a Racing diff also which is linked above.
