Clutch and flywheel for a turbo'd 8?
What clutch and flywheel would everyone recommend for me? I have the greddy turbo kit on my 8 pushing around 7psi right now and I have to replace the clutch b/c it's going out on me. So I'm taking this time to change the flywheel too. Anything else that I need besides the clutch kit, flywheel, and counterweight?

Moostafa29 is right on. I have ACT components (see below). I got them from Jason at rx8store.net in a package deal. Check out the web site or give him a call.

Ok first off, do I need the counterweight or do I just use the stock one? DPE now has them on the website for $670 shipped (ACT clutch and flywheel).

I think the one at rx7.com comes with everything. You may wanna check to see if that deal includes the counterweight, because it seems pretty damn cheap. If it does include everything, please let me know so I can get a pair too!

Yeah, sorry about the info on our site. I was a bit misguided by one of the flywheel manufacturers into believing the RX-8 does have a counterweight on the flywheel. I fault only myself though, for incorrect interpretation. The OEM flywheel is counterweighted, but meaning the weight is integrated into the flywheel (ie. not removable). I'll be changing the site very soon, and updating the prices WITH the appropriate counterweight.
Again, we apologize for creating any confusion on this; it'll be squared away shortly.
And BTW, the counterweight from ACT (a Mazda counterweight that ACT machines to work with their flywheels) isn't exactly cheap at a retail price of $168, but I should be able to knock off some of that in the flywheel and clutch/flywheel package prices.

Okay, site now updated with the correct info. Prices rose accordingly of course, but I tried to keep them down as much as possible. You can check it out here:
