Default Modified do you have the LWFW?

if so do you find it harder to drive for a daily driver? i think clutches are personal preference. from what i hear...the LWFW might be a little much for a daily driver or someone who has a lot of traffic in their commute. but others will say its no big deal. last time i spoke with Jordan from evoms he recommended a stage 2+ which was a hybrid of a 2 and 3. It had the clamping force of a stage 3 but yet didn't have snap or require a leg work out to push the clutch in as a stage 3 clutch would.

Default it really is a matter of preference...

I have a KO4 and went with the AWE Stage III w/LWFW, did it cause I am planning a bigger turbo later and I got a really good deal on the combo off of ebay (new, never installed). I originally didn't want a LWFW but the price was to hard to pass up so I pulled the trigger on it.

For daily driving I don't really mind it too much 95% of the time, unless it is crazy traffic when the weather sucks and it takes 45min to travel 1/2 mile. Honestly, I sometimes wish I stayed with the stock FW or something that is around 18lbs for a FW (instead of the 12lb one I have), but it doesn't bother me that I have it.

Default *THUMBS UP* Very good clutch.

I have the SB DXD OFE w/ the Unorthodox LWFW and it holds like a gorilla.
