Clutch question!

Zach330ci · 12-19-2012, 04:04 PM

I'm wanting to replace my clutch for something stuffer, I'm thinking about a spec stage 1. Does anyone know if I can use a stock fly wheel with this clutch set up? I haven't heard good things about lightweight fly wheels so I want to stay away from them, any knowledge is helpful!

Why do you want a stiffer clutch? Do you race often? If you just want a stiffer pedal you can buy stiffer pressure plates

Well I was planning on auto crossing eventually once my car is built enough for it

Lightweight flywheel is the best performance bang for the buck. Not much negative, unless it's too light (<10 lbs).

I'd go for the Valeo single mass flywheel and non-SAC clutch, though.

If your putting down normal power i wouldnt bother getting a differnt clutch unless you want to go once a week . Light weight is good for Auto X but horrible for Drag racing

I have liked the spec clutches in every car I drove
If I wanted a stage 1 I would need to get a new fly wheel? And would a stock/non lightweight fly wheel work with that clutch?
