Rep Power: 0 due for a clutch job.. flywheel advice needed

I've been looking for reviews on here for the best price/quality clutch. I don't want to spend a ton of $ on it, but i also don't want to get some cheap pos that will need replacement sooner because i went the cheap route.
the flywheel on this package is 8.5 and I've read a lot of people on here advising not to go below an 11lb flywheel. Will i notice a huge difference going from stock weight down to 8.5? Will it be a pain in the *** as this is just my daily driver.
I've been getting some chatter from a dead stop on my first drive of the day. once it warms up everything is as normal. I would assume its slightly warped and straightens out as it heats up or it is lightly contaminated. I'm also planning on changing the main shaft seal to cover my a$$.
Is this a decent deal/kit for the $? Any other recommendations?

I wouldn't advise getting a flywheel that light its a pain in the *** for a daily driver but I guess you will get used to it. Car revs very quickly and the engagement is much more sensitive and makes it very easy to spin the tires or jerk when you just want to roll from a stop like at a light. Again its just something to get used to, I didn't like it for daily driving.

i purchased it last night, its too late now to switch. I'll post a review after i get it changed out.
Is there anyone that can give a long term review on the f1 stage 1 gripforce clutch kit? 8.5 lb flywheel.
