Default Got my car back from Cybernation Motorsports...

Had a Clutchmasters Stage 4, Cybernation lightened flywheel, and Energy suspension motor mount inserts installed.

Now all I have to do is put 500 miles on them so that I can go to the track, I can't wait!

good pick on the clutch & motor mounts.

although, I'm more of a fan of full face unsprung clutches. the motor mount inserts are great though!

as for the lightened flywheel, how light is it? boosted cars like heavier flywheels. . .

I thought the stage four was a 4 puck with springs....thats what I got.

I think stage 5 is unsprung.

You don't have to break in a stage 4 just drive it. I had one on my GSR and it was great never broke it in.

I've been told differently. Is there documentation on this somewhere? (I can't find any on their site.)

No but you could call them and see.

I broke in my stage 3 for 1000 miles and still broke the pressure plate in less than 3000 miles. Never broke in the stage 4 and never had a problem with it, felt softer than stock.

I called them up and the gentleman that answered said that they suggest breaking it in with 4 to 500 miles, but half of that is normaly fine.

This is good news!

Is the Cybernation Flywheel lighter than the Clutch Masters?

Just curious, why would you need a Stage 4 clutch?

why? to make them slower than they could be?

moment of inertia of a heavier flywheel never outweights the acceleration benefits of a lighened flywheel. unless you put so much power to the ground that your car is as slow as another car with less HP

A lighter flywheel might drop you out of the boost range quicker between shifts, hense the theory of more rotating mass keeping you in boost range, so you don't have to build it back up as much everytime. Of course different cars react different and depends on the driver. Doesn't really matter, as long as the owner is happy.
