I am in the market for a new clutch/flywheel combo... I just has a fidanza flywheel for 1 week that had to come out due to some unforeseen circumstances... And I have a credit for a flywheel plus install...

I am going to be upgrading the CSC and adding a clutch at the same time to save on labor... Reading around I have seen a few threads on clutches but no one thread that really goes into pros/cons of one clutch vs anohter...

Southbend, Jim Wolf Tech, Competition Clutch, ACT, Clutchmasters all having clutches, and the holy grail OS Giken (not in my budget at the moment) are all available choices... anyone with any reviews or suggestions would be apreciated..

I loved the performance aspect of my fidanza flywheel and very well may go with it again, but it did chatter quite a bit... RCZ has had both the fidanza and competition clutch flywheel and he says the competition flywheel is quieter and only 3 lbs heavier. (15lbs vs 18lbs)... I will most likely go with one of those two, but the clutch I am very confused about...

My car will stay NA but is driven hard and will see 1/4 track time as well as some real track time in the future...

Any help is appreciated and +rep for all that respond!

Thanks!
