Not on the new Fidanza FW's. Only the old ones need to be counter-sunk...

New Fidanza's have 10 holes around the outside, old ones have 9 holes.

The normal CM stg4 is true 6 puck, and the other's are disks, right? And CM doesn't use sachs right?

That's the first time I've heard that, and I've talked to WMS a few times on the phone about the CM

clutches. Not saying System_S4k is wrong, just the first I've heard of it. I'd def double check on it, just to make sure... but then again I'm **** like that haha.

That said, the CM lwfw is a little heavier than fidanza (14lbs vs. 11 lbs). Chatter is a noticibly louder on w/ the fidanza (again I've had both), but it's not obnoxious by any means. I did notice that the fidanza revved a little quicker too. Placebo maybe? That said, I still prefer the quieter chatter of the CM lwfw and the knowledge that the clutch and lwfw were designed to work together. My .02 anyway.

I emailed you about a great setup that I have been testing.

Feel free to call me tomorrow. We can go over a few things.

We have sold 300 clutch kits per year for ClutchMasters . Only had issues with

stg3 kits holding power or the users were killing the clutch.

We had 11 stg3 kits go bad and now only offer stg4 with balanced flywheels that work better than any kit out there.

We have replaced more than 60 RS4 clutches in the past 3 years! Nothing wrong with CM, just buy the right kit for you power level.
