ACT clutch with flywheel?
How many of you used the stock flywheel or purchased a after market one? Just trying to get some opinions on those that run with or without it. Is it it worth upgrading to a better flywheel or the stock one is good enough.
Thanks
Thanks

There was an article in either sport compact or Super Street I can't remember which, but it said that the stock flywheel does not dissapate the heat very well, which leads to premature clutch failure. When I upgraded I went with an ACT street disc and a fidanza flywheel, and I am very happy with that combination!
No point of using a stock flywheel then if its going to wear out so quick anyways, the labor aint cheap on clutch installs.

I just put in an ACT clutch and Prostreet flywheel. I went with the flywheel because since the clutch was coming out, might as well change the flywheel so I don't have to pull the clutch twice. But I've been getting a CEL and I think its because of the lighter flywheel, I have to confirm that though.

And since the cost of a new l/w flywheel is so cheap why not upgrade all at once.

??? How you destroy a pressure plate and flywheel and not hurt the disc?? I would like to see what you are talking about.

there really is no reason why you could not resurface the stock, unless it was so mangled that replacement is the only option. Even then, the new stock one from Mitsubishi is not overly expensive
