Which aftermarket Flywheel do you have? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

For those of you who have changed to a lightweight flywheel, which one did you install?

Patton · 11-29-2005

Great thread, I have been wondering about this too, and if you did install a lighter flywheel, how did it effect driveability/RPM responsiveness? Also, Might I add, has anybody here installed lightweight/carbon fiber drive shafts?

Me got da BIG F in mine and scored the whole pkg from these guys. Very happy with the clutch/flywheel perf. improvement, but I do get the famous "gear rattle" off the ZF tranny...the clutch is a stage 1 ceramic I think. Tell em boys just what ya need and they will hook u up & gud $ deal too!

Is it a good idea to go with a spring hub clutch disc with the Fidanza FW?

Yes, it helps take some of the noise out.

One has Billy Kirchoffers FW-PP and clutch
The other has a stock set-up.

Fidanza, with Spec stage 2/3 hybrid combo disc. Don't forget to install those special PP bolts with aluminum flywheels from Ron Wood, for safety's sake.

I understand most after market clutch companies use the the same pressure plate supplier but how would those with expirience rate the spring hub clutch discs avalable from Centerforce, Spec, Mcleod, Corolina Clutch or anyone else I may have missed for general street use with the usual Z mods (headers, SS exhaust, chip, 4.10s, p&p intake,AL Fidanza flywheel)?
Seems the Mcleod disc JeffVette was mentioning a while back is no longer being produced.
