Stock flywheel and clutch are plenty. You're not making enough power to warrant any upgrades. If you want a bit better pick up, there are several lightened flywheel options from Fidanza or ACT.

If you are just daily driving and at most, casually autocrossing with a bone stock car, then the stock units are totally fine.

Lightweight flywheel decreases the rotational inertia, so you can rev up a bit faster, but when you also lose revs faster when you release the gas, so don't go too light if you daily drive, since it's easier to stall the car and you would have to upshift faster or give it more gas every time you upshift.
