Default just installed ECS tuning stage 3 clutch and LWFW comments so far(M)

I just got my car back about 20 mins ago. I noticed that the clutch feels lighter is this due to the lighter flywheel?? I am in the break in period. Does the cluch get more grabby once you break it in fully?? The car revs much better. More comments to come

Default I thought clutch pedal feel is related to the pressure plate?

Doesn't have anything to do with the flywheel though - I know that for certain. Didn't they tell you the break-in procedures? Also, I didn't think ECS actually made clutches. Where do they source their parts if not?

Default 20 mins? come back tomorrow! go drive!

and yeah, clutch pedal "tension" has nothing to do with FW.

can't comment on how it should feel with their stage 3 clutch though.

do you have the chatter everyone talks about due to LWFW?
BTW, i've never had this on other cars (GTi: aftermarket, SVT/contour: stock)

Default I get very little chatter a low rpm's. does not bother me at all....(M)

alot of people made it out to be really bad. I only get it at about 1500 rpm's and you really have to listen for it.
