I would not waste waste your money on a fidanza flywheel. There not worth 400 dollars thats for sure. I have a ram clutch in my car and I love it to death. I had a big fiasco with fidanza and they ended up giving my money back but the short time that I had it in there I wasn't very happy. I may be able to help you out on the clutch situation. Buckshot has a ram in his and he is also very happy. Plus he is pushing some HP. UR's are way over priced. the others you mentioned are good clutchs. I have heard some bad things about grizzly and UR. I may have a setup I can sell you if my other deal falls through. Kit includes clutch disc{kevlar} clutch plate, slave cylinder. Plus its about 275 dollars cheaper than UR.

Fidanza is not bad product at all is just that some clutches may not work with it.
I have clutch master stage 3 with a fidanza flywheel and not problems at all shifting is quick
and rpm rise faster than with the stock one.
one set up that. I would like to try the new ceterforce clutch flywheel combo

Although someone here (Simon96se???) has a grizzly and I dont think he has had any problems. Seems like hit or miss. I had to pay over $4500 in repair bills b/c the grizzly parts kept failing. All of these were in 2 months. Grizzly has basically ignored me and not wanting to repay any money I've had to pay for replacement parts or labor bills.  It has been hell but I think everything is ok now. My clutch has gone 20 days without breaking!!! Woo-hoo!  Kind of sad if you get excited about your clutch lasting that long w/o breaking :rolleyes: -neal

I have the UR Stage 2 clutch and the fidanza flywheel, and I am totally satisfied. To each his own, it is all personal preference.

Well I'm leaning on getting the Centerforce and Fidanza, spoke to some local shops here.. Japtrix.. Dynamic Turbo etc that swear by the centerforce DF, and most (90%) are satisfied with the fidanza and performance...
Thanks

Ask him how heavy the clutch setup is. If I'm not mistaken the centerforce clutch kit is one of the heaviest.
