Has anyone tried the flywheel that Gruppe-s offers as a package? I was thinking about getting their exedy stage 2 clutch with Gruppe-S 10.5 lb flywheel package. Any thoughts or experience on this flywheel/clutch package? Is there anything I should be concerned about as far as having a lighter flywheel? For anyone that's had this clutch before, is it streetable? Can you still drive it almost like a stock clutch or is it a different story? Need some advice.....still want it as a daily driver but also good enough to track....

Here's the link, it's the package for $699.00 http://www.gruppe-s.com/Evo/evotrn.htm

 

I would go with the ACT HD street and Gruppe-s fly if you want to track. Tons are running this combo. I have it just sitting here waiting for my stocker to go out.

 

the reason why I was leaning towards the exedy is because I've read so much about the good and the bad about ACT and Exedy, but I hear more bad things about the ACT then about the Exedy......hear a lot about how ACT locks up....how's the driveability on the ACT HD as a daily driver.....I'm just looking for something that's got the best for both track and daily driving.....

 

I had the ACT HD with Gruppe S flywheel installed about 600 miles ago and have had nothing but a good experience. Clutch grabs real quick (very apparent over the slipping clutch I had on the car...haha!) and the flywheel definetely aids in acceleration once you are up and going....haven't launched yet, nor do intend to anytime soon so can't give any feedback on whether that's different from before. As far as driveability, I think it's fine. The clutch can be a ***** at times if stuck in traffic, but otherwise no biggie (just a stiff clutch that is a real bear in traffic). No stalling issues with the lightened flywheel. The only time it has stalled is if I have to come to a sudden stop and get on the clutch with a fast rpm drop...might have something to do with cams, don't know...but otherwise, no issues with stalling.

 

I have the Exedy stage one w/ flywheel from Gruppe-s. I have been happy with it. However, I knew going in, not to use the Exedy supplied throw out bearing....BUT OOOOPS! the tard that did the install, put the Exedy T/O bearing in, instead of the factory one I supplied. Now I have a rattling sound on deceleration only. With exception to their "hit or miss" T/O bearings, I would go Exedy....FYI

 

anyone else have a different opinion?
