I'm thinking I'm going to be ordering the koni yellow + H tech tein springs this week but still thinking about what else I might want for similar price... I'm looking at $800-900 installed for what ever I order (I believe). I've also considered sway bars and flywheel. Any input on what would be best or what else I could get for similar price range? I currently have RB revi, RP supercat, RP short shifter, agency power pulley and RB cat-back.. Thanks for any ideas or tips.

get the flywheel.

my only worries about the flywheel are staying in the price range I was looking at... from what I read in a couple other threads I should be looking at $500 for install which would push it much closer to $1000... I might be able to manage that but closer to $800 would be better, though it could be an option

Thanks for replies so far. Quick question about the flywheel though... on the RB website they recommend replacing throw-out bearing and the front + rear seals... how important is this? I know I wont be able to install the flywheel myself, so would the seals/throw-out bearing be something that any place I have the flywheel installed should have, or would I need to find those and buy them as well? thanks for helping

if you are going to have the trans out to replace the flywheel in the long run put in a new clutch..

a clutch set usually includes everything you need, as in throwout bearing, pilot bearing, blah blah...

would do any stage one clutch...

pm me if you need more guidence..

Thanks for replies. After a few PMs with swoope I decided to hold off on flywheel till I can get both flywheel and clutch. I ordered the racing beat sway bars instead and should get getting them tuesday... quick question about that though. My dad has a strong dislike of me installing stuff myself, mostly stuff that requires raising the the car at least... he's offered to pay for it so I have no reason to argue, so I'll be having them installed at a shop nearby that I know of. I ordered the end links for the front and I'm wondering if I should enlarge the holes before taking it in for installation or if I should just ask them to do it... I'm sure it's simple to do seeing as it should just be drilling but figured I'd ask opinions just to be on the safe side... thanks again

You might as well let the shop do it because even if you drill out the swaybar, they will have to drill out the control arm.

they recomend that you do the other stuff because most people arent in the market for new flywheels untill the one they have is going bad, which by that time its probably close to the time you would be changing out the other stuff anyway. But with only 15k miles on your car.......you still have along time befor you would need to drop the trany again.
i think you should get the flywheel........its a noticable difference that i think you`d enjoy

mahuna

also if you have a few bucks left over try the "Mazsport colling mod".........that one should help you get a few more miles out of your car in the long run

well the other reason I moved away from that was the price as well... the flywheel and install woulda been more anyways. Also I plan on going FI sometime not too long after the axial flow comes out so I'll probably end up getting a new clutch not too long after that. Though that's not gonna be for at least a few months, I found it more reasonable to wait for it.

mahuna

I hear ya.........i`m waiting for the axial flow supercharger myself but we may both be waiting awhile on that one.

sounds like you got yourself a good plan , and it should be great after it all comes together
