So I'm still having a slight misunderstanding when it comes to the dual mass setup. Someone please shed light upon my situation

If I purchased this clutch

or

would I then have to purchase a new flywheel or will this be a direct bolt onto the dual mass?

I'm trying to prepare to replace my clutch in my car before it goes. (S15 Spec R with a 6MT). I just want to buy the right things once instead of back and forth'n it. I've been reading on this but I still cant grasp the concept of the correct setup on whether clutches are specifically designed for dual mass vs single mass.

"Clutch Disc and Pressure Plate. Any clutch kit for the 5MT will work, but if one is using the OEM S15 Dual-Mass Flywheel, then feel free to get an unsprung clutch kit, even though this may be costly. Sourcing a new OEM replacement clutch kit is rather difficult to find. You can use a sprung clutch kit on the Dual-Mass flywheel, but the dampening will be overkill and shifting between gears may feel sloppy. "

I've contacted FRSport and they were also unsure whether this would work. (Even though is says its 5 or 6spd compatible in their notes.)

Help would be much appreciated.
