I hate when companies name their clutches by stages. I personaly can care less about that I rather know what material the clutch is made of, if its a Puck or full face clutch, and if it's sprung or unsprung.

work your magic! if they can make us a clutch kit and have some kinda package deal with the flywheel, then maybe more guys would jump on it. i know i'd like a new clutch along with the flywheel.
the spec ones seem nice. i had a spec stage 3 in my old supra that i really liked, but the price is almost double the price of every other car, though it's kinda expected.

I would really love to have a light weight fly wheel, and a new clutch, but.... $400+ for the fly wheel, which is not too bad, and then another $600 for a clutch, that is a nice chunk of cash for something like this. $1200, just for parts and shipping is a hard sell to my wife. Expectably with a new baby due in December. Then if you’re not mechanically inclined enough put this in yourself then it’s even more cash, yippee! Luckily for me I am a mechanic, but most people are not!

probably nullify it, but if something really does happen to your car, they can really only not cover it if they can prove that it was the flywheel's fault that whatever happened, happened. so i wouldn't be too worried about it.
