What do you think of this clutch flywheel combo?

Does this have everything I need to replace clutch? My car is stock and don't plan on racing. Need something comfortable for every day driving and will last little while.

for daily driving just stick with stock flywheel. 99% of the after market flywheels are going to have chatter in them..

I wouldn't mind the stock flywheel but it's about $1,000 from the dealer. Minus the chatter will this combe last a while? How many miles will it last?

If I remember, Hexxum001 has this combo.

I'm sure he could give you some input.

I have about 55K miles on the car and I am not the first owner. Not exactly sure how many owners the car had. But I feel the clutch is slipping because when I am driving in 3rd thru 6th gear and give the car a little gas my rpm jumps up and the comes back down and then the car will go. Is that usually a sign of a clutch going bad.

Yes, the ACT flywheel is much lighter, due to being a single piece unit. You WILL hear the chatter noise with this flywheel but I got used to it. It goes away when your past 2,000 rpms. It does revv quicker, and since I used a exedy stage 1 on it, the clutch pedal feels like half of it is freeplay, then the rest is all grip. Hope this help out.
