Ah this thread just reminded me that im gonna need a new clutch soon. Ive done too many launches and the stock clutch wont hold out much more. But it had its fair share of problems to begin with i just finished it off.

I have the one people call a street / strip clutch in my FD. It is the heavy duty pressure plate and street disc. Works fine so far, similar pedal feel to the original. Don't really notice a difference. I haven't abused it yet, you won't be testing the limit very hard either with an N/A. If you are getting it all for $450, jump on it. Cost me nearly 3X's that.

To decide wether to get a light weigh flywheel or not, you need to decide what kind of racing you will be doing. For drag racing the stock, or slightly lighter flywheel will do. You need a nice heavy flywheel for the inertia to get off the line. But If you are going to do autocross or road racing, a lighter flywheel will be better.

I wonder how well a street/strip clutch would actually hold up to drag racing/street use... assuming it was rated for more than enough torque.

well i assume it is better desinged to take more abuse than the stock one. I think they can pretty much assume that you will be ******* it once you get it so they have to make it for a stonger so you can get what you paid for. So no one has the act clutch?
