997.1 GT3 Changing clutch - what else to do
Hey there,
I have a 2007 GT3 997.1 with PCCBs . Had it for 7 years, now at 55k miles, and the clutch is slipping. This is about average life expectancy for heavy Los Angeles traffic as per the dealer.
I do some high speed track several times a year, and autocross 4-5x/year as well
Any suggestions on what else should be done while clutch is being redone? I've bought steel brake lines, and am going to check out the brake pads myself. I've read not great things about going to single mass flywheel - do others disagree?
Already blew my coolant line into the engine a few years ago.
Thanks in advance.

Logging in under a diff name, as I can't reset my old name.
But yeah - roughly a little over $3,000 to just change the clutch.
I went the whole way - RS 4.0 clutch and pulley, LWFW, Guards LSD, Sharkwerks coolant line pinning(I already blew my lines once before - if you track it at all it's a must) and RMS (rear main seal - easy to do since engine was out)
I don't think I'd put the light Weight Fly Wheel in again as the rattle it makes is annoying, and I think all that rattling may cause something to loosen up eventually. I don't really notice any acceleration difference with it in. If you're a hardcore tracker, then the weight savings are worth it.
