I guys, going for a clutch replacement in my c2, will a change to the RS flywheel be a good upgrade? I use the car on weekends for road spirited driving, no track, so what would I feel to make this money worth?

Thanks

Hi,

Unless this is a daily driver used in rush hour traffic, I would install the RS LWF kit. The difference in throttle response between the 38lb DM and the RS 13lb one is quite noticeable.

Just make sure your engine is in excellent tune and clean out that Idle Stabilizer Valve very thoroughly.

I did a clutch in my car and used old DMF. Prob only has 2k miles on clutch. I Almost want to abuse it so I can go the LWF route. Regret not doing it. Next time for sure.

I use my car with a lwfw in city traffic with no issues. Isnt a terrible experience either

Steve 38lb is TOTAL for DMFW/Clutch/Pressure plate, 13lb is for LFW alone (excluding starter gear, clutch, pressure plate and release bearing) - those numbers can be misleading. Marketing data

LWFW + started ring


Dual mass everything:


Lightweight everything (ignore tube)


Still significant, but NOT AS MUCH.

Also, replacing clutch on DMFW is much less expensive than doing whole LWF conversion. According to Sachs DMFW can go over 2 clutches.

Also, DMFW, is not plain hunk of metal - it is pretty nifty device

I've just done it. Highly recommend the change. Do the whole lot, fork and bearings.

Yep - do it!

Just had my 2nd RS clutch fitted after a great 60Kkm with the last one. Do it. It's how they should have left the factory!

Absolutely.

I agree Steve, very nifty device. That being said I would love to go the LWF route next time.
