I still haven't gotten use to the noise and vibration from my JWT combo... though right now my blown end links are covering most of the flywheel chatter lol

That kit is the same as I have that you picked from Zspeed, it has everything you need.You will get flywheel chatter as with anytime going from DMF to SMF flywheel, but its lower or similair to stock with the Zspeed SB Stage 2 kit.

BTW, please slow down and type your thoughts out a bit better,your all over the place.

You need to do more research, sounds like you have normal flywheel chatter, if it isnt slipping and the clutch pedal is coming all the way back up your fine.There is more than ample information on this site to lead you in the right direction.

My total clutch job parts and labor ran me $2200.You can save about 700 off that if you do the work yourself.Research, decide and execute, its that simple.

It costs to play in the sports car game, if your not ready to pay, you might want to look at another vehicle and trade in...

I just did the break in for my SB combo from czp, new lines like mentioned above, master, csc also and installed was a good $2k+. You may want to check into the whole package from them (good site!) and for now just stay stock until you are ready. Good luck!

well if it's normall light flywheel chatter.......your not going to get away from that with ANOTHER light flywheel setup, are you? Maybe I missed something......

a warning about buying parts from one place and having a diff place (I would never have a dealer do it) do the install. I thought I was saving $200-300 buck buying my clutch and flywheel ahead of time during a sale. But when the shop did the install....they found the groves in the flywheel teeth were not correct. Cost me $1000 to remove the tranny to replace with the correct style flywheel.
