It seems most recommend to change the flywheel bolts when they do the clutch. Just get some new flywheel bolts from the dealer. I like to change mine as well as I don't like having to pull the tranny anymore then I have to. As for some more step info look here:

RRE's Clutch And Flywheel Tech Info

The ACT (or XACT) streetlight should be stepped correctly from the factory but I have heard a couple say theirs wasn't correct, so its always good to get it checked first. Once again better to make sure its right the first time. Think the above link will give you the info your after but basically the step is exactly what it sounds like, a step. In that the clutch isn't mounted directly to the flywheel friction surface level, it actually sits up on a step. If the distance from the flywheel friction surface to the step (where the clutch pressure plate is mounted) isn't correct you can have engaugement issues or can burn the clutch disk out.

While your in there its always a good idea to replace the fork & pivot ball with OEM parts & do the rear main crank seal as well. Another cheep & easy upgrade (usually around $25) is to get a stainless steel clutch line to replace the factory rubber line to the slave & it also gets rid of the stupied factory resevoir thingy, giving you a quicker/more positive clutch release.
