Default Clutch slipping...please help!

I got a 07 tc and my clutch started slipping the other day (56k) is that a normal time for it to start that? I do not have any upgrades on the car and would like some recommendations on a new clutch... I might end up doing a cold air intake and a chip to increase hp but i do not plan on putting on a turbo or sc... I will be daily driving the car so i dont need a clutch that i have to use two legs to press in but i would like better performance/life out of the new one.. Do i need to change the fly wheel as well? Do the kits include the flywheel? Do i need anything else for the install? I was thinking about doing it myself with the help of a buddy... I have ripped my yamaha raptor 660 engine out and went from one side to the other several times do you think my mechanic knowledge is sufficient to do the clutch/flywheel? My wife just got laid off so cost is a concern thats why i am leaning to the install myself... I appreciate any help!

Default clutch slipping...

i found this on ebay...is it worth spending the extra $125 and getting the exedy clutch kit with the f1 flywheel:

rather than getting this one and having to go get the flywheel resurfaced right in the middle of the install:

Thanks for all the help people!

there are many companies that sell a kit with the flywheel and with out it, just make sure if you dont get the fywheel with the kit, to resurface the oem one.

p.s
i would go with a.c.t or clutchmaster
