about the Light Weight flywheels(LWFW) and their stack height effecting the slave cylinder/clutch pedal throw.

A recent picture on ECS's website confirmed what I suspected all along, about the slave cylinder, and its push-rod.

The LWFW's offered by several tuners, all move the clutch pressure plate away from the slave cylinder, which inturn makes the clutch pedal actuate more closer to the floor, if not on the floor.

I had contemplated fabricating an "adjustable" slave cylinder push-rod, in an effort to bring my clutch pedal up off the floor.

Apparently ECS figured it out, and offers the longer push-rod with their LWFW's, now...

The push-rod is on the right, bottom

Default Great feedback!

On a different note, what's the off-set on your new wheels. They look great!

They are flush with the fenders, no spacers and zero rubbing! :O)
