NOOOOOOOO don't do the fidanza!.... at least with a 99. i ordered a fidanza flywheel, brought it to my shop, ready to install, eeeek, it has 9 bolt holes rather than 8! i called up fidanza and they said it's for the '02+ even though everywhere i saw them advertised it was supposed to be for '99+. unless things have changed, i would go with AASCO. that's what my shop got for me. FVD-usa sells the same aasco unit and, i believe, so does evoms.

i believe the stock clutch would work fine but i uprated mine in preparation for the supercharger. i got a clutchmasters clutch but don't recommend it. the clutch is fine but the kit is not complete with all the bearings need. i would have rather gone with SPEC clutches. they both use sachs parts, uprate the pressure plate and line the clutch with kevlar but the SPEC kit includes everything needed.

are you refering to the spec 3+ clutch. i don't think that one comes with a flywheel. i could be wrong.

i was referring to the clutch only. you are right, SPEC does not have a LWF/clutch combo.

Bruce,
If you are going to be down there changing the flywheel, you might as well upgrade the clutch. I have a spec on my race car and am very happy with it.
