Bumping this just in case there is anyone here that might have done this. This will be my next Big Mod for the car.

Would love any more input from folks that may have first or second hand experience with this modification on this platform.

As I'm planning to keep my 991.1 as long as i possibly can, its on my list of things to do. Unfortunately I changed my clutch 10k miles ago, so will probably go LWFW route when next clutch is due or when i have more cash on hand to just **** it away for fun.
I did check with my tech at steallership and he also says he doesn't see any issues with it long term .
I don't remember all of the companies off hand but i saw LWFWs ranging from 13lb to 18lb in weight. Stock is 24lb i believe. When time comes ill go with 18lb in order not to sacrifice daily off the line usability. Should be a bit of improvement and still keep me form stalling easily (i hope).

aasco has a kit and 9meister in the UK has one that’s about 33% cheaper. I am trying to see what the difference is between the two.

i believe place called clutch masters in US also has a kit for 991, but their site doesnt have quite same items listed as proimporttuners does if youre interested in a clutch as well. If LWFW only then here ya go:

9meister looks to be a good choice as well, and when i had couple questions they responded promptly:
Quote: " It has to have damper springs because we have a solid flywheel you need to take the vibration out of the assembly somehow. Clutch has a better stronger friction plate and a clamping cover of over 550nm"

Alright guys, I am going to order the 9meister kit as there is about an $800-$1000 delta from the Aasco kit when factoring sales tax etc.

I will post updates here once I eventually get the kit and have it fitted.

Nice, good luck. Looking forward to your feedback.
Please measure the weight difference in flywheel.
Also Looking forward to your thoughts on their clutch, is the material any different than stock etc....

Joec500

I know the GT4 guys have weighed the difference it's around 15LBS or so

Any luck getting it done?

Joec500

I impulse bought an F80 M3 as a daily and it sucked all my money. LOL

malahhaor

Why, does it need new crank bearings already?
Sorry, i could not resist. Although a nice ride, we will still quietly disown you.
Enjoy in good health, just don't be a typical BMW driver

I have found a .2 option for the clutch and flywheel. The details are 600lb/ft of torque with the twin organic clutch disc and 850lb/ft with the metallic discs.

This is a custom build but I will be ordering one of these shortly.

The Aasco/Tilton kit?

IRunalot

Yes, it is. Just stumbled across it this morning. Just not sure which one to get. I asked M-Engineering to see where I power levels will be and then will buy that kit.

AdamSanta85

Nice, cant wait to hear your opinion!

IRunalot

Absolutely will report back which I buy and how it works. Think I'll go with metallic as its more robust.
