Get the ACT, it's the best clutch under 500 bucks. For the flywheel, just go and resurface your stocker. The stocker weighs around 14 lbs and there is no point of buying a 12 lb. for 200 when you can resuface for 30 dollars.

How do you guys tell?

Hey, I got a IX MR all stock with about 5500 Miles on it i had it for about a year now. I think its time for a new clutch but im not sure. My rpm keeps going down and up constantly and its not turbo lag.

How do you guys know if its time for a new clutch before your car breaks down in West Bumble****?

^Get the car rolling at 25mph in 3rd gear then mash the pedal to the floor.... if RPMs climb but the car doesn't go anywhere then its slipping.

i keep on hearing different weights for the stock flywheel. last i heard it was 16lbs. so is it really 14 pounds?
