Fidanza Clutch: www.fidanza.com

Stage 1:
Combine carbon and Kevlar, give them a steel backing and you have the most durable and longest lasting street clutch available. We’ve engineered our torsion damper and marcel cushion to engage smoothly yet quickly. Perfect for the daily drivers. We recommend this disc to those who drive their vehicle every day, in all conditions.
Image


Stage 2:
Like our lightweight flywheels we choose to use the very best in materials. That’s why we designed our Three Point Two with the Kevlar buttons. With 100% Kevlar friction you get more grip and more life than the Two Point One. However, since it has no marcel (cushion) this disc sacrifices a little bit of its smooth engagement. Still, this disc can be installed on a daily driver. Just behave and be patient during it’s 500 mile break-in period. Once that’s over you can be as nasty as you want.
Image


Stage 3:
This is one mean clutch. Your footwork better be good, it’s no walk in the park. Just because it has a torsion damper like the Three Point Two doesn’t mean it drives like it. Those are ceramic buttons attached to that puck. They provide quite a grip upon engagement. That means power is planted straight to the pavement. Don’t be scared though, it’s not going to give you a larger left leg.
Image


Stage 4:
If you choose Five Point Four you’re either building an all out race car or a rocket. This disc will show you what grip really feels like. As you can see there is no torsion damper, no marcel, and the pads are made from sintered iron. What you’ll feel – instantaneous power. This is for the racers.

So I have a 05 v6 6speed thats in need of a new clutch, I've been doing a ton of reading on here but have one question.

If I were to buy a kit like the one linked below will I need new bolts for the flywheel to crank shaft and clutch to flywheel?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VALEO-HD-CL...73&meid=c78538cae6d2434c9a5ebb5abee387fe&pid=100010&rk=3&rkt=10&sd=151061494900

Also this kit is just used as a reference probably not the one I'll order. Still open to brands, I'm just looking for a firm pedal daily driver. Any recommendations are welcome!

Thanks in advance.

Alright guys im in need of some very URGENT HELP!!!!! I havent had my tin on over 2 months its BS. I gotta CM stage 1 and after having my bud pull my trans off to figure out i dont have a Fidanza FW n got effd by a friend that said he put it in there. So i gotta return my friction plate and buy a fidanza FW which i have already. So tonight were on the lift the 2nd time, get the subframe dwn. Pull the FW and clutch off. TURNS OUT, it was a single mass conversion, and that middle part on the stock FW is NOT the right peice. ON TOP OF THAT, whoever did the job is an idiot. Cuz the FW wasnt flush to the block and the middle part started to crack in a circle like the bolts were over torqued. Now someone please tell me they still have there stock FW so i can use that middle peice for my Fidanza FW PLEASE!!!

Hello,

I am looking for a clutch/FW for 2007 2.7L GT limited. I want something that will last for a long time (preferably). I will be doing the basics soon of CAI and exhaust. I may eventually do supercharger and other mods but am unsure. For the most part it will be a daily driver sometimes in traffic. Would like to beef it up and do very mild racing. It would seem from for what I need would be a stage 2 or 3 at most. Any suggestions on which stage and what type. Pretty sure Ill go with CM clutch and Fidanza FW. What material for the wheel? Weight? Im a newbie, so many options any help would be appreciated.
