Default Finally got the $

I finally have saved up enough money replace my clutch! I'm putting a Type R clutch and flywheel setup in my LS. Hopefully in about a week or two I'll have it done depends one when the parts come in.

Well my one reason I'm doing the Type R is so it'll be warrantied. Also I'm not going for a huge improvement.

The flywheel is a little lighter, though. There is probably little to no noticable difference, then.

The Type R clutch is $20 more so I'm guessing It's a lil better then the LS's. Yeah I just want somethign a lil prepier then my stock thats still warrantied. I'm not looking for any big difference just something to make it a lil more fun.

so if sold you a brick for $40 more than the LS clutch, it would be better?

Lesson: More $$ does not equal better product.

If you put a Type-R clutch in there, there wil be no noticeable difference. get an ACT organic clutch. Clutches are wearable parts, ergo, no warrantee in the world covers them whether they be OEM or aftermarket unless there is a problem with the craftsmanship. In which case, the manufacturer would be responsible for the repair.

exactly...if you clutch just wears out from use they are not going to warrenty it. believe me i have people try it everday with brake pads that have a "warrenty" and it aint how it works

Well either way I don't have the money to get a different clutch as well. I just figured if I got the R flywheel the R clutch would probably go better with it then the LS clutch would. But I don't know much haha.
