Standard power, stick to standard clutch, medium power or road car then organic clutch, anything more then paddle type clutch.

You will notice it quicker to rev up and down while stationary with lighter flywheel and should in theory help pic up of acceleration some, will be hard to notice really but every little helps. The biggest advantage of a lightened flywheel is for competition use where you can match revs on downshifts easier, the downside for a road car can be the idle is not as smooth but nothing to worry about with a proper engineered flywheel.

Ive had a st3 and a mk2 rs clutch in and noticed difference but were running alot of power so im just wondering if itd be worth doing on this as ive got cams and piper cone decat magnex back box so wonder if itd be worth doing hmm maybe just do the valveo and save up and do the full on ktr track clutch.

I've got the flywheel and standard clutch, it's absolutely fine, revs noticeably faster than standard, also with a/c delete it's a good package.

Valeo clutch makes it an every day driver, paddle's are poop for anything but track if you also don't want to hate how unrefined your car is everytime you get into a queue.

Idle is lumpy to say the least though.

With those mods you'll be a million miles away from needing to fit a uprated one

Every person I know has removed paddle clutches from their dailys if they can as they make you hate your car after a while, manoeuvring in tight car parks can be shady to, on...off.

Every little helps, good to get done if you have plans for your car, getting your original lightened is a cheaper option as well.

Yup, not something you want to feck about with if you don't know what your doing, could be the end of your passengers 3rd leg or your life.
