Re: Clutch/Flywheel combo

A good flywheel/clutch setup that I have heard of... as I have been looking around for my Legacy GT...

ACT aftermarket clutch disc and pressure plate for 2006-current WRX 5MT.
2006-current Subaru WRX 2.5T flywheel and bolts (stronger, less likely to ream out than 2005-2009 Legacy bolts)
new throw-out bearing, engagement fork, and other misc bits for assembly. (compatible shift fork with whichever clutch slave cylinder you have, push or pull type.)
I've also thought about a stainless braided hydraulic line for the clutch master to slave cylinder, for better feedback, and less hose-flex.

ACT has a streetlite flywheel for that application that is lighter than OE, but if you wanted a more normal-mass flywheel for the EG33, the WRX OE flywheel is probably closer to that.

But I don't have first hand experience. That will probably be the setup I convert my 2005 Legacy to, and get rid of the stock Sachs crap, and the OE dual-mass flywheel that the Legacy came with.

I am not sure what 5MT converted SVXs are running, but am interested to see what gets posted here by folks who do know...
