I've had a Clutchmasters Stage 2 and a Fidanza flywheel for about 2 years, and I'm very happy with the combination. The clutch is just as easy to engage as stock, and has better holding power. The flywheel requires some additional rpm for engagement, especially on hills, but otherwise is very smooth. I had been worried about slightly rough idling before buying it, but that hasn't been a problem, at all.

hmm, how much did it cost you? mine is complety dead, when i put it into gear the car does not even stall. i cant have the car down for to long. maybe i should just go to the dealership and get an oem.

The clutch was around $450 and the flywheel was just under $400, if I remember correctly. I think they can be had for less now, though. The installation was just over $1000, but it also included installing a limited slip differential.
