1) Softer than stock clutch pedal
2) ver low engagement point.
Also, I'm having trouble telling the difference with the stronger pressure plate. My car seems to rev faster with the flywheel. It's almost as if I have to drive one gear lower now..for example in the past @ 65 mph I start to hit 5th. Now I stay in 4th until after 75 mph.

JUN, ACT, and tilton are the only flywheels made from chromoly that i know of. If you want to use a convential diameter chromoly clutch/flywheel combo, JUN is the only choice.
BTW, JWT/fidanza = damn near identical. Some even say the JWT is a rebadged fidanza, and i believe it.

Can someone explain to me what is meant by this? Going ACT requires changing somethign else becuase its a non-conventional diameter? What are the reasons to stay with a conventional diameter flywheel?

I'm having the ACT street clutch and prolite flywheel installed as we speak. I should be getting my car back today (hopefully). The shop said that they were having issues with the release bearing, and that ACT said that it is not uncommon to have that issue. I'll post some reviews after I have it back.
I hear that I will have to learn how to drive my car all over again with this new setup. Let the love affair get stronger LOL.
Any comments/experiences with the ACT release bearing?

This is Unreal. I picked it up an hour ago, and this clutch is sweet!
Shifts are more solid, it revs like a motorcycle (immediate response), and accelerates quite a bit faster. I'll post a real review once I put about 500 miles on it. I want to break it in properly before putting the needle to 3 O'Clock. Alternative Motorsports in OKC did a rockin' job at an even more rockin' price. If you live in this area, THAT is where I would take it.

Zodiac, sounds like some fun driving! Can't wait for the review.. please include chatter noise level (bothersome, barely noticable or non-existant?) and how stiff the clutch is (stiffer than OEM?)
Thanks and congrats!

I DID listen for chatter when I first got in it and pulled out o the parking lot. ( I had heard things like the JWT sounds like a dump truck LOL)
I didn't hear ANY. Before the change my clutch sounded like a hand full of quarters in a dryer set to tumble...OK not that bad, but chattery as hell.
I'll keep an ear on it, but as far as clutch stiffness....much more stiff, but as miaplaya said, not unbearable at all.

Did you get in on Candady350z's deal?
He saved me a fair bit of money.
