It's great! I'm completely satisfied with it. It definitely is noisy in traffic, but doesn't bother me at all. The clutch pedal feel is stiffer than stock, but I got used to it very quickly and don't even notice now. The lightness of the flywheel allows it to rev up super quick and feels amazing! Feels like an added 30hp! Of course no real HP has been added, but it feels that way b/c all of the wasted energy of rotating that heavy stock flywheel is now free. And the responsiveness makes rev matching while heel-toe easier too. Overall, I'm extremely happy. And he found the cause of the noise that I've been living with for years! It turned out to be busted upper control arm bushings. Got that replaced, and now I'm driving the car much more than I have in the past few years. Thanks for all the recommendations!

Thought it would be worth following up on this one since I did actually make a decision.
My CMC went out completely last week, and although I was lucky enough to already have a CMAK kit waiting on my parts pile, it was silly to waste the labor installing it and not include a clutch. I opted for EXEDY’s Stage 1 kit, that comes with a 20 lb. flywheel. It was not cheap, but totally worth it. I understand now why going even lighter wouldn’t be hard to manage, since I’m sure I’ll get used to the feel in another day or two. Rev matching on a down shift is almost effortless, and I love the response over the boat anchor bolted to these engines at the factory. The EXEDY kit is also an excellent option on a street car. It eliminates the dual mass flywheel with no added chatter, which I didn’t expect, and modulates from out to engaged so well I don’t think I’m going to bother upgrading the pedal assembly. |
