Bang for your buck

[RileyRobertson]

Alright well I need to replace a few things and was woundering what you all would prefer? Im not going to mod my eclipse more than 300hp anytime soon, so dont need anything to high performance. #1.Flywheel? Since Im going to replace that im going to just throw a new clutch on there too. #2.Clutch? #3. Rotors? I would like to have some drilled and/or slotted for performance and they look good with rims. #4.Pads? Just want to know what brands I should look at and have respectible reputation. Thanks

Fidanza lightweight flywheel, ACT 2600 clutch, Evo Brembo brake conversion and Green Stuff Pads

Powerslot and Hawk for the rotors and pads. ACT or Fidanza for the flywheel and clutch.

Bear break kit..!!

Bear break kit..!!

Why?

Evo or VR4 Brembos will perform just as well for a lot less. Plus in a bang for your buck post, extremely expensive big brake kits are probably not what the OP is looking for.

I had a fidanza flywheel in my starion back in the day and I liked it, although there were better mods I could have done with the money in retrospect.

I had an ACT2600 on my talon back in the day and it worked great, but it killed my leg whenever I would get stuck in stop-and-go traffic. so if you really intend on keeping your car at 300hp and heavy traffic is a concern, you might want to consider something a bit less heavy duty...

Hahaha. Look at his tech posts spawned. Might be screwing around. But i agree with the Evo conversion. Or like spawned suggested.

Just go with a full Fidanza kit. Their light weight fly wheel and the 3.2 kit (Kevlar). Kevlar clutches are amazing as they hold great and slipping them too long just heats the pad up and after it cools it's back to normal unlike composit material that create kitty hair.

I have been seriously considering a Fidanza clutch, do you run one Liquid? Also have any opinions on the 4.3?

 

[LiquidX]

Yeah Meat, I use the full Fidanza kit with the 4.3. I really enjoy it personally. I did have an issue with my other clutch disc which can be viewed on the Fidanza clutch thread on the site. It has some chatter on decel but it's nothing major at all.

Also I do believe they started updating the spring retainers so they are as open as they used to be but now are more enclosed.

My searching skills failed me today. For anyone interested in that thread here it is: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/240420-fidanza-clutch-thread.html

OP I would definitely recommended looking into Fidanza over ACT, but I will let you be the judge of that and why in the end.

Southbend clutch, a mildly light flywheel, and Willwoods.

Alright cool, Im looking into those Fidanza clutches and flywheels. Thanks everyone for your input!
