Its a good price, OEM and trustworthy. It's not just the quality of the clutch plate but the bearing as well. For the price difference it is a no-brainer IMO.
It's a good price alright,quality obviously been oem i wouldn't expect any hassles with it i just don't get to have my car's clutch changed too often and whilst it is unexpected to be doing it right now i just want to make the right choice and ATR route is new to me and good option too.

No-brainer for some but unexperienced and brand driven like alot of my buys i just want to be satisfied and whilst i still have 5 tabs open here waiting to order the set i just don't want to rush or be too slow especially when going international.

Your tips are welcome and i like the reviews on Competition Clutches flywheel ;)

You want to see me try buy a pair of shoes or worse a shirt! :lol:

So i'm set on the Competiton Clutch flywheel but have a choice of ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT FLYWHEEL - 3.99kgs or LIGHTWEIGHT FLYWHEEL - 5.24kgs.

The Ultra comes in cheaper as been the lighter posted for obvious reasons,is it worth going that light with pretty much a stock running car or would i be best just go with the lightweight and not go OTT on the weight reduction.

Both

I have the ultra in my 4th gen. Yes it is a race car but TBH I doubt you will notice the difference. With the ultra you might spin up the engine faster but you'll also spin down faster too.
