I'm going to respectfully disagree.

Everyone rants and raves about how great the JWT clutch and flywheel is, but my understanding is that is is basically a Fidanza flywheel with what is essentially and OEM Clutch and (slightly) upgraded pressure plate.

I'd go with something more along the lines of a six-puck setup. I had the Competition Clutch stage 4 setup installed and I love it. PM me if you want to know more or have any questions about this.

No, but just from reading basic info on it.. It doesnt handle much more torque than stock..

do u just want a new clutch? you don't !!NEED!! to replace the flywheel, or get a upgraded stage over stock. so it may be a tad cheaper in that scenario, although you'll have the tranz down and all. it's just going to be cheaper is what im saying.
