Total Weight 32.8 LBS

Total Overall Weight Reduction 5.7 LBS W/ Steel

By using a heavier Clutch Disc & Pressure Plate this will add 3 more
pounds to the Alloy flywheel (as compared to the OEM 2.5 Clutch Disc &
Pressure Plate ) making it feel like a 13 pound flywheel. This overall
weight reduction is 9.7 pounds. A steel version could be made if the
alloy one ends up being too light and or a heavier version is wanted.

Here are some examples of other weights of OEM Flywheels (Engines of
similar power)
All OEM Single Mass Cast VR6 12V flywheels are 17.75 pounds w/ ring gear.
Many users have switched to a L/W Steel Billet Flywheel that weighs in at 11.75 w/ ring gear fitted.
Also available are slightly heavier Cast steel Single Mass w/ ring gear at 13.80 pounds ( still lighter than stock).

MK4 1.8T W/ 5 speed users are changing the OEM DM 22 pound flywheel
and converting to A Single Mass as well.
Again using the same weight as a 12V VR6 single mass steel billet
flywheel that weighs in at 11.75 w/ ring gear fitted.Also available
are slightly heavier Cast steel Single Mass w/ ring gear at 14
pounds.Both of the these flywheels were created in the aftermarket as a
performance part designed for the Corrado G60 and are using the very
proven Sachs VR6 clutch kit ( this Sachs kit is rated to 250-275
Torque and takes more)

1.8T & 2.8 24V VR6 W/ 6 speed 02M 6 speed users are changing the OEM DM
26.5 pound flywheel to A Single Mass type as well. 16.5 single mass
steel billet w/ ring gear this takes 10 pounds off and does not chatter.

Between those two listed above, the difference would be longevity.
Kevlar has a finite life where the fiber carbon would last a bit longer.
Kevlar is suited to track or strip use, not ideal for daily driving, as stop and go could result in overheating of the disc.
Kevlar won't recover from overheating, and will slip.

Carbon doesn't suffer the same fate as Kevlar, but can take more abuse.
Both will wear the PP and FW faster than organic.

Choosing the correct friction material should take into account the type of driving that you plan on doing.
Also take into account your current or future torque level.
Organic stg 2 would be good for 375 ft/lbs .
Organic stg 1 would be good for 275 ft/lbs.

Placed a order yesterday after my clutch went out on the way home from school. Shop got it today and I should have the car back by this weekend.

I have a 5 cylinder BGQ engine with a turbo in a corrado 4x4.
On this engine a use a G60 flywheel.
I am searching for a clutch that can handle up to 425 ft/lbs but don't want to change the flywheel.
Also I don't want to push the crankshaft out of the motorblock, had a sachs race enginering clutch and did not like it at all, had the feeling I was training my left leg in a gym.
The pedal engagement should be about normal, my wife is supposed to be able to drive in the car as well.
Because of the 4x4 drive train the wheel torque will not be reduced, no wheel spin.

Is there any cluch for this car with the specs I described?

Not at your power level without the firm pedal as you described above.

A stage 2 clutchnet might work for you even though you are beyond the max the mfg is rating these at.
Here are the specs;
Clutchnet Heat Treats the OEM Sachs Diaphram for a increase in clamp load.
Clutchnet also uses A triple strap instead of the two supplied in stock form. Upgrades the size of the rivits.
Sachs Castings
Sachs friction surface

Pretty much where I'm at. I have 2012 2.5l 07k and my clutch is fading fast. I wanted to order a new kit ASAP but I'm not sure what settup is best. I prefer stage 2 and a light flywheel but Southbend is $700+ and BFI doesn't even say if their stage 2 is compatible with my car being newer then the 2010 cutoff..

Can anyone help a bro out here?
