i look forward to read your reviews after you have it broken in...
It came with the clutch kit.
It was in the same box.

Have you noticed any increase in MPG after the install?

The MPG is increased but not big difference.

So here is an update after 600 miles.
The kit works same as stock with no noise or any other things that could make me worried.
Start from a dead stop is smooth with no problems at all.
The difference in 1st 2nd and 3rd gear is day and night.
Highway trips are with no problems at all and the car performs very nice cruising at high speeds.
Better MPG cruising at 60-80 miles in highway.
LMS kit found its perfect match.
Only thing missing is a trusty piggy-back.

So in the end, my car's back in the shop. Code comes up as cylinder misfire, but engine looks good. Mechanic suspects that my clutch (which has been feeling really weird lately) made my engine computer think that the engine was stuttering and would throw an engine misfire and put the car into safe mode.

Just bought a Fidanza aluminum flywheel (130201) and Spec Clutch Kit Stage 2 (SL252) from ClutchFlywheel.com. We'll see how the installation goes.. will report back.

To separate from all the talk and focus simply on review, I created a new thread:

Still no chatter or anything else
Running smooth and changing gears like i replaced the clutch and flywheel yesterday.
All i can say is that the difference is noticable compare to standard flywheel.
Merry Christmass everybody

Running on the setup for almost 30000 miles know.
Daily driving is the same as before.
It's a little bit harder on the foot but not very noticable.

hello,

I am also considering the conversion for my IS250. Can I ask why Fidanza flywheel was chosen over the SPEC flywheel.

Also in terms of clutch kit how does clutchmasters weigh up vs SPEC

I see alot of people got a SPEC Stage 2 Kit over the Stage 1
