Excellent setup, no problems at all. Good for daily driving too.

Default Any issues with the clutch sticking? Apparently the new fidanza flywheels don't accept the SB clutch

because the flywheel holes for the bolts need to be countersunk. What stage do you have? St. 5 Feramic? Use the new generation fidanza?

Default btw, I have SB Feramic (st. 5) with OEM flywheel. Was thinking about doing lwfw down the road

but I heard about issues using the fidanza....some have issues with clutches sticking after WOT on some clutchmasters set up.

I actually got the Fidanza for the S4 and the holes match up perfectly. Sometimes by cluth feels kind of heavy but I don't it's the cluth because it didn't do it initially.

I don't know anything about the new line of Fidanza :-(

I did the entire upgrade this year. The A4 lwfw doesn't have the countersunk. The s4 one does.
