Default fidanza vs. clutchmaster

if you were to get one, which would it be? both are close in price, and close to the same weight.
if you have either, are you satisfied?

go with clutchmasters stage 2. ACT clutches tend to not be that reliable and i've never heard of fidanza. plus the NHRA can't be wrong.

Fidanza makes flywheels, and they make them for clutchmasters.

If you want a clutch go ACT or Exedy. The majority of people run the ACT HD SS like me and love it.

hes talking about flywheels. he wouldnt have mentioned weight if it was a clutch

i have a Fidanza 8.5 lb. and i have no problems with it. when i was looking at them i heard the clutchmasters flywheels use the stock bearing in the middle. they make you send them your stock flywheel after you install the new one

Fidanza = clutchmasters. They make the flywheels for them. I have a 7.5lber and I love it.

As for exedy clutches, they like to grenade, as well as clutchmasters....ACT hands down.
