Please Help!

Ok, i need a new clutch, while the trans is out i am going to buy a light weight flywheel too! a fidanza flywheel weighs about 7.5 to 9lbs, thats 10lbs lighter than the stock flywheel. the centerforce flyflywheel weighs 5 lbs less than stock. how much do the spec, clutchmasters, and the exedy flywheel weigh??? the spec and clutchmasters are aluminum flywheels while the exedy is steel but i am told the exedy is still lightweight. but how light weight??? and what clutch should i use, a spec stage 3+, a clutchmasters stage 3, centerforce DF, DFX, or exedy hypersingle? my plan is to put a intense racing stage 5 kit on my 2007 supercharged SS with solid engine and trans mounts, and solid control arm bushings. right now my car is still stock but the clutch is slipping like a ************. i tryed driving it like the sticky thread in this forum told me to but it isn't working at all. so my next move is to replace my clutch. PLEASE HELP!

SPEC and Fidanza both run around 8 lbs.

If you need a SPEC setup let us know what one you would like we will get you a discount

I put a fidanza flywheel in my cavalier and it literally broke to pieces taking the tranny with it... I sent it back and they gave me another... it happend again. From what i hear this is common, them breaking apart and ******* everything up in the process. I highly advise not to buy one.

so out of all the clutches you sell, would you recomend a spec, exedy, or centerforce full set up for my car? what one is the lightest, and holds the best.

Top 2 IMO are the Exedy Hyper single or the SPEC Stage 3+

Those are the only 2 that seem to be trouble free and can hold the power.

I have Spec Stage 3+ and love it! I had a Exedy before and would recommend the Spec over the Exedy for driveability and power handling.

spec and fidanza flywheels ARE the same. Spec just rebrands them with their logo.

When my clutch wears out, I'm going exedy.
