    Best clutch and flywheel setup

    i've been searching around, and i found that a lot of people use the ACT organic clutch and a FIDANZA flywheel

    now:

    i want to use this clutch in my 04 rolla s 5 speed

    whats the best for street, cause i do push it HARD! and what do you guys use?

    whats better for a flywheel, chromoly or aluminum.

    and what "stage" is better for hard street use?

    organic or the other type? which will pull harder or grab quicker?

    *edit*

    i only have a full custom magnaflow cat back exhaust. so im a little modified.

    I'm looking at the same thing. I see alot of people going with exeddy clutches even though I don't believe they make them for our particular year (I hear people modify them to fit). Fidanza flywheels are the best that I could find.

    I wonder if anyone knows anything about the fidanza clutches though. Never heard any reviews and I'm surprised no one tried them.

    I know this wont help with EVERY brand but his is what fidanza's site says about their clutches and where they shoudl be used. Looks like you would be looking for a stage 2.1 by their standards...probably equates to a typical stage 2 w/ other brands...but don't quote me.

    stage one organic

    i just had a exedy stage one installed . i used the stock flywheel and a longer actuating rod for slave unit. also some arp flywheel bolts from monkey wrench racing. organic is a good choice for street use with ocasional gettin it on. if your the weekend warroir kind at the strip then go with a stage two with a chrome molley setup for flywheel. make shure that clutch kit and flywheel are compatible. some stage two ceramictalic discs will eat up the wrong kind of flywheel.i drive a corolla xrs.

    you sure not a 3.2??? that seems more like me

    to be technical

    i have :

    2 1/4 full custom cat, resonator removed, pipe installed. k&n drop in filter
    dunlop somethings, the grip is awesome, don't last long but awesome.

    and i drive about 100 miles to 150 a day

    thats not all at once though, i commute 30 miles one way and 30 the other and the rest i just drive around doing stuff.

    edit*

    i tend to open it up a lot like, once every other light.

    Yeah I was looking at the 3.2 for myself. Should give me a little extra room to play with for when I get the s/c....but I still don't know if fidanza clutches are worth a sh*t....it doesn't seem like anyone knows.
