uhh I replaced the clutch. As for the flywheel, your only options for aftermarket are: 1.) Fidanza, 2.) Bring your stock flywheel to a auto machine shop and have them shave off as much weight as they can without sacrificing integrity

I have an ACT stage one that I put in about 5000 miles ago and it feels like its already starting to slip alittle. I just resurfaced my factory flywheel.

I went with Unorthodox Racing, segmented kevlar/sprung clutch, lightened flywheel (12 lbs.) maybe not the cheapest but the quality is very good and they have a nice assortment of clutches.

Check out their website www.unorthodoxracing.com
