im gonna be getting the spec 3+ clutch and was planning on getting a lightweight flywheel with it...

just want some opinions on if i should go with a spec or fidanza flywheel

the fidanza says 7-9lbs but how much does the spec weight???

is the fidanza flywheel "plug and play" with the spec clutch????

im partial to the fidanza and it seems alot cheaper but im wanting others opinions

thanks

 

Stick with matching the spec flywheel with there clutch

 

stick with spec.... u will have less mating problems

 

the fidanza works with the spec clutch

 

how much is the difference in price and how much was the clutch?

 

I would go with the spec flywheel with the spec clutch. Just me. Also, if there is a significant difference in price, then call spec and ask them what is different about their flywheel over the fidanza. It may be that spec is using a higher grade aluminum in their flywheel, which would make sense that it would cost more. I found the people on the tech line a spec really helpful. I just put in their stage 2+ and am real happy with it. Be aware that if you are putting in the stage 3+ and will primarily be driving on the street, you will get less life out of the 3+ or any race disc for that matter than you will out of a top capacity street clutch such as the 2+. And no, I am not connected with spec in any way.

 

stick with stock flywheel, save yourself 300 bucks on a FW you will not be able to reuse, resurface and will hurt the lifespan of your clutch.

 

a lightweight flywheel will not hurt your clutch. the fidenza does have a replacable friction surface (steel insert) thats readily avalible. im not sure if the spec flywheel has this insert rivited or bolted, but i have never seen one avalible.

 

OK, the purpose for putting an aluminum flywheel in the first place is so that the engine will spin up quicker (less rotational inertia). ALL aluminum flywheels that I have seen have a hard steel friction surface and is replaceable. I personally have never had to replace one. Another big advantage of the aluminum flywheel is that aluminum has a significantly higher heat transfer rate than steel, so you can dissipate the heat generated from the clutch much quicker (reduced chance of fade). If those advantages are worth the cost to you, spend the money. If not, don't.
