Default Another clutch question.

I guess clutch questions are quiet rare. Most combos I've read are the Fidanza FW + Spec2 clutch. Since my cars at the dealer getting pistons replaced, I took a look at my original clutch which at 96k had very little life left. Since everything was apart I figured I might as well replace the FW + Clutch. Old plate + FW had lots of hotspots

Does anyone have feedback on the Spec FW + Stage 1 clutch combo? I'm hoping the car feels brand new with the rebuilt and new lighter FW + clutch.

I applaud you for looking ahead and getting that clutch job done now at a fraction (if anything) of the labor cost. Hope you enjoy the new "toys".

Is the dealer allowing you to install the aftermarket clutch? Thought they would recommend the F Sport clutch.
