(E30) M3 Clutch Slip



I realize this may appear as a double post, but I think it got lost
the first time. Sorry for any waste of bandwidth.

Anyone have any experiance with clutch silp on the E30 M3?
My 1898 M3 has developed a severe clutch slip, making the car
virtually undrivable when the transmission is cold. After the car is
driven for 20-30 min, the clutch tightens and most of the slip
dissappears. Since the clutch has over 116,000 mi. I'm going to
change it, I was wondering if something else needs to be done when we
pull the Trans. I'm planning on ordering new parts, here's the list I
have so far;
Clutch Disc, Pressure plate, Throwout and Pilot bearings, Fork Pivot
and engine rear seal, resurface the flywheel and replace with
Red-Line fluids. Anything I'm leaving out?
Also, are there any higher performance pieces I can install over the
factory parts, I certainly have no complaints with what was in there
before, just thought there might have been some improvments in clutch
materials since 1989. 
Thanks,
