normally you change the disc and the pressure plate at the same time, including a new t/o bearing. Flywheel resurface is also mandatory when changing clutches.

Maybe you should have got a new clutch first instead of buying suspension.

be careful with gitting the fly wheel resurfaced
with todays clutches they are made to a lot tighter tolarances and if the plates and fly wheel and all do not line up just right you could be looking at a sliping cluth even though the parts are new

then again his car is 14 years old, so 1990 tolerances
