SACHS is the OEM supplier of clutches for Porsche. Recopmmend the spring centered disk rather than the rubber centered one that came stock on the 944.
Performance Products carries an aluminum flywheel for the 944 AFJuvat

It's NA 158hp. I'm looking for a stiffer clutch and lighter flywheel made of Chromoly so it doesn't warp like aluminium.

The factory flywheels typically don't have warpage problems---but still a nice upgrade.

The "light pedal force" mechanism designed into the Centerforce clutches are known to fail. Stick with the OEM SACHS clutch.

Does the Centerforce clutches fail in 944 applications? I'm running a CF dual friction clutch in my Mustang and after 4 years of abuse, its still works great! I never installed a clutch in a 944, but my .02 suggestion is sticking with the Sachs clutch just because your running a stock motor and you don't need the extra "grip" from a clutch like CF.

Oh, wait a minute. It just feels light? These cars have a very easy clutch pedal, it's hydraulic and doesn't take much pedal effort if properly working. Replace the clutch if you have slop in the driveshaft or if it's slipping.
