Ok...so I finally got around to installing the new SPEC billet stage 1 clutch kit with the OEM lightened dual mass flywheel...........I drove it for 20 miles and my first impression is "wow".........identical feel to factory with no extra pedal effort and a slightly lower engagement point due to the removed SAC mechanism. Completely quiet setup without any need to increase idle and slightly quicker acceleration due to a 9 pound flywheel weight reduction.....all this just as expected for my daily driver.......unfortunately I have to break in the clutch for a few hundred miles before I start smoking the tires.........:M5launch:
