From what I observed, JWT clutch and flywheel and ATS for the ballerz

 

Do you know another clutch that you would recommend that is good for a value price? thanks again for ur response.

 

RPS, JWT, ACT, and Clutch Masters are the cheap options.

 

The JWT option is made by RPS. You pay a few bucks more for the JWT name. RPS is probably the most cost effective for the clamping force. You just want to have a strong left foot or else your going to be sore.

 

I'm going to be going with the JWT clutch/flywheel combo fairly soon.

 

JWT is honestly the best bang for your buck. I will be pairing my JWT clutch with a Jun Chromoly flywheel. The idea of a flywheel with friction material bolted on is unsettling.

 

Hows does the clutch pedal feel with the JWT compared to stock?

 

From everything I hear, almost exactly like stock.

 

Dang, I really want a clutch that is alittle stiffer. The stock one feels like you are pushing a feather.

 

Miaplaya-
I bought some parts from a guy who's running the JUN flywheel. He says it rattles a lot. I bought the RPS setup, but I don't have my car back yet(week 7) so I can't tell you how it's working.

Hmmm I hadn't heard that. Although my stock setup rattles so much it might not even bother me. Is it just me or is the Z built for hardcore enthusiast. No sound deadning. Squeeks and rattles EVERYWHERE even just driving off the lot the day I bought it. I guess the two 12" subs in the back don't help the rattle..

 

I am running the Fidanza flywheel and the ACT Street and the car drives awesoem and is holding up well.... And FYI, the JWT flywheel is made by Fidanza.....

 

Yeah, that's what I was told. I also see Fidanza flywheels all over e-bay. hmmm

 

Miaplaya-
I guess the only answer is to crank up the music. A little "Scissors Sisters" maybe?

I don't want to quote him, but I thought Greg @GSC said he'd had a JWT flywheel come apart on him. I know Paul @ Avalon said they'd put them on all sorts of boosted cars.

 

Absolutely...I play a little Disturbed at max volume and it should drown out the rattle

 

Is your ACT street clutch the 6-puck or the organic?

peACE.

 

does the ACT w/Fidanza feel? feel like stock clutch? i am aiming for more of a clutch feel. BTW how much did that clutch set u back?

 

what about Clutch masters clutches? how r those clutches?

 

I would say the best bang for the buck is an ATS twin plate carbon clutch (and it comes with a flywheel). You'll probably NEVER have to replace it for as long as you own the car. Though it is ~1k more total than the total for a clutch and flywheel, you only have to pay for install once (whereas once your clutch and flywheel setup wore down, you would have to get it replaced again, which, would put you OVER the same price of an ATS twin plate carbon clutch, that you could have still been running this whole time), and since it's a carbon clutch it shifts better as it gets hotter.

Really no downside other than having to pay $1,000 more, though that could easily be shrugged off by only having to pay and install once.
