Time to bite the bullet.. couple clutch ??'s

Done lots of searching, still have a few questions before purchasing a new clutch.

Car; 05 turbo s, softronic flash, europipe, and divetors are the current mods. No other major engine upgrades planned other than; boost hoses, coil packs, and plugs. Down the line but no real hurry I may go, 18g upgrade, plenum, y pipe .?. May never do those last things but hey you never know.

My questions. Flywheel .. new or refinish? lightweight or dual mass? want stock feel but wouldn't mind some better performance. Is it o.k. to refinish the stock flywheel or am I asking for trouble down the line?



Any input would be great. TIA

I'm in the same situation, and have been reccomended the clutch masters stage 3 for a clutch, stock feel, and down the line if I wanted to replace turbos, the clutch will have no problem holding it.

from my research refininshing the stock flywheel is just fine, if you did not want to get an aftermarket flywheel.

How are you so lucky?? Is it the 964rs flywheel or some majic lube most don't know about?? Please elaborate.

I'm sure I'd rather have the lwfw if noise and driveability were not an issue.

I have the GT3rs clutch and flywheel get some chatter with AC on but over all its got great light feel to it like the stock clutch and its grips great even at my power level but i have heard great things about the clutch masters stage 3 and 4.
