Here's a shot of the clutch and flywheels:

And the high-tech super accurate bathroom scale says:

APR flywheel: 11.5 lbs

APR clutch disk: 3.5 lbs

APR pressure plate: 8.5 lbs

Total weight: 23.5 lbs

Stock flywheel: 24.5 lbs

Stock clutch disk: 2.0 lbs

Stock pressure plate: 9.0 lbs
<img src="http://home.comcast.net/~xr4tic/images/stock_press.jpg">

Total weight: 35.5 lbs

The bathroom scale has a +/- accuracy of about 0.5 lbs.
It's interesting to note that the flywheel is 13 lbs. lighter, but the clutch disk is 1.5 lbs heavier. Not a big difference, and you're actual weight savings is slightly less than advertised, but it's still a big help.

I also notice that my flywheel looks different than the one APR pictures. I'd be curious to see what other people's looks like.

Well that's great - but I want to know what the difference in bodyfat is!!!!

Since you switched to the 2.8 tranny, and are using the APR clutch and flywheel, does that mean that the APR cluch and flywheel will work on any 2.8?

Thanks,
Scott

You could give an Audi dealer a call and find out if the flywheel/clutch are the same from a 2.8 and 1.8

Well I hope your APR flywheel is balanced.

Audiboy

So, rotational inertia tells me that you will see a big difference

xr4tic

thanks for your concern though.

I know Speedtech Manufacturing are making 5-6 lbs flywheels for the A4/S4's.
