I know turbo tech racing has them. Look around vendors sites for the best price. Make sure you get a new throw out bearing if you don't get one with the clutch.

Best price.

well you can buy the exedy flywheel. but the benifits of the fidanza flywheel is thta it is light weight, and when the clutch slips again you only have to replace the inserts on the flywheel which is like 50 bucks instead of buying a whole new flywheel.

You don't buy the flywheel seperately it's part of the clutch package. You are playing with fire mixing and match different flywheels and clutches after some of the posts I have read on their site.

well some packages only come wit the pressure plate and the clutch so you would have to buy a flywheel. n it just depends on which you like to prefer to mix and matching or go wit the same brand clutch. and plus it depends on wat you have done to ur car cuz not always mix and matchin is like playin wit fire just more wat ppl prefer over the other brand.
not dissin on you just saying you have alot of options on clutch and flywheel combos.

If you're going Exedy, don't get a Fidanza flywheel. Not only is it not made for it and will make it perform poorly, it's a waste of $400 since the Exedy comes with everything. Plus I'm pretty sure it doesn't even fit. >_>

By far the best setup is the SPEC stage 3+ with the SPEC aluminum flywheel, no complaints

The Exedy's are fine but we, like TTR, sell the poop out of SPEC. They have been out #1 clutch/flywheel for GM vehicles for the past 4 years.




Ask us about our price match policy.
