ACT all the way. it never slipped in my fully built turbo 98 gsr. i had the XTSS, extreme pressure plate and street/strip disc. i just resurfaced my stock flywheel because i dont like driving with a lightened or ultra-light flywheel. just my .02

Do you guys know which model feels more like stock, (not exactly) but close to it? I hate it when it gets all hard, it gives you a leg workout!!! Which one do you guys recommend as far as stages or models?

Fidanza = CM flywheels.... I have a CM flywheel and Action Stage 1KS on my LS no complaints.. grabs hard when you dump the clutch.. but is ultra smooth when grandmas is driving around

if you wanna chirp gears go grab an act 6 puck...you can chirp it in any gear you want. But, you'll also have a scrawny right leg and a soccer player left leg from the damn clutch. A puct clutch should not be used on a daily driver.

My buddy had a CM with fidanza flywheel. Revs a little quicker than stock but on the whole feels like stock.

I just got my ACT with a JUN flywheel....couldn't be happier!

ACT!!
