Default Clutch is letting go advice?

Ok so just got a couple questions, first anyone have any recommendations on an aftermarket clutch kit? Second stupid question I know but does the kit come with a new release bearing? One more question, I've had people tell me I do not new to machine the flywheel instead just buff out the scratches and clean it up return is to smooth again?

Get the flywheel turned. While you're in there, do the throwout bearing and the freeze plugs that are hidden by the bell housing.

They make clutch kits? Wow. I didn't know that. I always buy the pieces separately.

I've done plenty of clutches without resurfacing the flywheel. I only did it last time because I expect it to hold a lot of power and there was coolant present in the bellhousing from a leaking freeze plug. A clutch kit should come with the throwout bearing, clutch disk, pressure plate, pilot bearing and alignment tool. I like Valeo clutches.
