Clutch and Flywheel question for new setup

[eazy2g]

HI all,

I have a semi-moderate set up that is almost done on what was a completely stock car. With my list of most of my mods below I don't have any drivetrain upgrade yet. I'm sure I need to change my clutch/pp/flywheel if I want to hold any power. I also think that I want to swap them before I take it in for tuning...

And I've seen way too many options so I'm not sure what to go with, its actually kind of confusing. The car will be a DD maybe once or twice a week if that.

Thanks All!

you cant go wrong with an ACT setup. i always used the extreme pressure plate and like it alot. As for the discs its up to you. I like the sprung 6 puck. ( i kept frying the street discs. ) I also use the fidanza flywheel, but ive heard good things about the ACT flywheel as well. The ony thing ide recommend though is use an oem throw out bering. ACT's tob is made of plastic and i blew one up, i havnt had an issue with the stock mitsu ones.

other then the clutch press plate and flywheel, changeing the clutch line from the rubber stock to the steel braided one makes the pedal feel much better in my opinion.

Why do people prefer Fidanza Aluminum over ACT Street light or ACT over Fidz? I have the ACT 2600 PPT w/ street disk and have both flywheels (Fidz and ACT) now. And I'm not really sure which to go with. Also, if I go with the ACT Streetlite do I need the extended bolt kit and auto plate?

thanks.
