Any feedback on lightened flywheels / uprated clutches for the 225?
In a moment of young foolishness I managed to burn my OE clutch last night. It was fun doing it, but I now have to face the severe consequences (i.e. finantial ones).
Since:
a) It's best to change the flywheel along with the clutch disk & pressure plate,
b) OE parts cost so freaking much, and
c) A modified TT can easily toast an OE clutch,
I decided to go for something beefier.
Honestly, I'm torn between AWE Tuning's kit and SPEC's Stage III kit with the aluminum flywheel.
Does anyone have experience on these kits?
Thanks in advance!

Yeap, killed it in one shot. Dropped the clutch from standstill at 6k rpm...
The car would simply dig tarmac in 1st and 2nd gear. Never tried anything like that before. My back still hurts from that violent kick. I had some hard time keeping the back aligned with the front too!
Anyway, must have seemed awesome from the outside, although I kid you not I feel quite stupid telling about it.
Why all this?
I had to defend the Audi brand against a modified Subaru Impreza. I bet that driver does not think of TTs as 'hairdresser's cars' (his exact phrase) anymore. Felt good, but at what a price... $1500,00 for a complete kit.
Never going to try that again. Not because of the money, but because of the brainless taste it left me.
Doh!
