clutch options for ASA

[GBX330ci]

So, i think my pressure plate is shot. I already have a rogue ltw flywheel and semi-metallic clutch disk. Any recommendations for an upgraded pressure plate for my 330?

Also, since i'll be in there, should i replace my semi-metallic clutch with something stronger or do you think it will be sufficient for the ASA power?

Any recommendations would be very helpful. This car is my daily driver, so i'd like something that i can move comfortably in stop and go traffic.

Spec has a stage 3 hybrid which some have recommended. Anyone have this set up? If not, what else?

Which SPEC? Also, how is it for everyday driving? Anything feel different?

spec stage 3, plenty enough for the ASA blower. everyday driving is fine as long as you are not stuck in traffic all the time..my left leg will ache for a night when i'm stuck in LA traffic for about 1hr or 2. the pedal feel is very firm

know anything about the SPEC 3 Hybrid...supposed to be better suited for everyday driving.

never heard anything about the hybrid version..i think going with the UUC setup will be your best bet

I already have a ltw flywheel from Rogue, which i love. Very little chatter.

So, UUC isn't really an option.

Vin, why'd you go with their steel flywheel?

Because of the chatter, my other UUC one was TOO LOUD :thumbdwn:

It was the sub 12lbs one, I dont remeber the exact model #

when supercharging a car... is it necessary to change from the stock clutch and flywheel? I have a 2003 330i 5 speed.

nope, but its better to change the clutch :jfj:

[John330i]

by saying no... i'm guessing the stock one can handle the new power... but i'm guessing that you're reccomending it becuase an aftermarket one can better handle it?

how much did you pay for the spec stg3 if you dont mind me asking?

it will drive fine without upgrading the clutch, but it will grab a lot better if you upgrade. I forgot on the price I paid for, should be a little bit below 500 i think

[meel330]

under 500? sounds kinda low, no?

sounds fair to me! :thumbup:

Why do you say that? Do you not like your SPEC 3, or is it cause my car is my daily driver? What flywheel do you have?

[Durgesh]

I have a spec stage III and thier flywheel, the flywheel makes a little noise but you get used to it.

The clutch is much heavier, however your left leg its used to it very quickly...

But I would agree, unless you are really hardcore go for the UUC setup.
