Default I need suggestions for clutch set ups...and who to have install it in CT area

I have the stock clutch in the car with 55k miles on it and it is on its way out...starting to slip. I need peoples suggestions as to which clutch and maybe even flywheel to buy. I have an APR chip in it and would like it to grip (stock blows) while still being easy to drive. I am also looking to find a reasonably priced place to have it installed in the CT, NY, NJ area...can this be a DIY project if my friends have clutch replacement knowledge or do you need any special tools? Also where is a good reasonable place to have my timing belt replaced? Thanks to all in advance!

Default Spec & Southbend are both good clutch suppliers.

I have a Spec stage 3 six puck and 12-lb flywheel, I like it.
