+1 to lightened flywheel (well worth it)
either get ripped off at RPW or can definatly buy cheaper elsewhere or just get yours milled down

Does the clutch come with a thrust bearing aswell?
If not then you should get that changed too,or else you will get a nasty
grinding noise at low rpm.WTF $500 just for install thats cheap.

yea $500 cash job install but that didnt include the cvs but my mechanic called back ( the one i had do all my engine work ) and told him ive booked it in what i was getting done and he told me leave it with him, hour later called back said he will do it all for $1290, that included buying the clutch having the cvs sent off and rebuilt both inner cv and outa cv plus install clutch and cvs
clutch would have been $450 cost price
he said cvs rebuilt were $180 each ( slightly more then that other company that sell the swap units for 150 but they dont sell the inner one so dont know how rebuilt they are )
so hes installing it all for $480 only prob is he needs the car a few days so the cvs can be sent off to be rebuilt but thats alright
