Default Fidanza Flywheel - 9 stud vs 10 stud variants...

I have an early Fidanza flywheel with 9 studs/screwsets on the outside edge. During the last clutch swap, I noticed that the friction plate had warped and needed replacement.

When I ordered a new plate from Fidanza, I received two plates - one with 9 holes on the outside and another with 10 holes.

I called Fidanza and they told me that they'd made an improvement on the flywheel and that newer models had the 10-stud configuration.

Question... Has anyone else with a 9-stud plate experienced warping? For that matter is there anyone who's had a similar experience with the 10-stud plate please?

Best wishes,

Ram

P.S. - I also have a spare 10-stud plate for sale if anyone needs one!

Default I've never had warping with my Fidanza. And that's with an RS4 clutch in my Imola

which saw a lot of tracking and some moderately heavy launches with clutch slip(Stg 3) and now with my Avant with the Stg 5 South Bend but only Stg 2(or whatever the hell it is). But I did replace the friction plate when switching the LWFW from the Imola to the Santorin. (Edit) It was a 10 bolt/nut
