stick to OEM until you mean to upgrade otherwise it will be a waste of money, short shifter/ stage 3 clutch/ light flywheel and engine mods that sort of thing

haha my rs4 clutch and flywheel came form ECS im pretty sure, same price. My baby is going in a week from tomorrow to get it put on!!!

So Audi ops, you like it? I was beginning to think the couple hundred spent on the FW could have been put to better use haha. I asked my mechanic about it and he said its worth it so i took his advice, may as well save on a little labor and get it done the same time no?

Oh yeahI do! I like the feel of it when I push it in AND drop it out haha, butnot too often. The lightweight flywheel does exactly what all the descriptions say they do,quicker throttle response and spool up, they are subtle but youcan notice itevery little bit helps. And doing them at the same time is a good idea, just to check ECS gave you the pressure plate too?

Im not sure i assume so, but it was shipped straight to the shop. I dont think the guy who is doing the work would do the clutch and fw w/ out pressure plate.

lightweight flwheels, less rotaing mass less force the motor takes to spin up less stress on the crank= more power to the ground

The gods love Audi
