Help With Confirming Clutch + Flywheel Purchase

Okay ill make this short and simple. Im buying a new clutch + flywheel setup, so please read the list below and tell me if im missing anything and answer my questions

- ACT Performance Street Disc Kit (87-91 RX-7 Turbo) Z65-HDSS
- ACT Prolite Flywheel (TII Only)
- 89-95 Rx7 Rear Counterweight (N3Y2-11-52X)
- 69-11 Rx7 & Rx8 Rear Main Seal (N3H1-10-508)
- 72-82 Non-Turbo and 86-11 Turbo Hardware Kit (nuts and bolts) 95179 OR 86-95 Turbo and RX8 Hardware Kit (nuts and bolts) 95193



Now my questions are, why does the hardware kit come with so many bolts and why does it come with nuts? Is the counterweight not threaded where the bolts meet up? Also, is there a different between hardware kit for steel vs aluminum? (This is based off mazdatrix's website btw, racing beat only has 1 hardware kit)

I can see 12 bolts,spacers,washers.
6 for counter weight and 6 for the pressure plate and spacers and washers for each bolt.

Sorry man,I had the wrong Part number pic.
I have seen Pics on here that guys bolt the PP on and nut it at the back to make sure it stays on.
Does ACT not make a hardware kit for their setup?

I would guess that the aluminum hardware has a coarser threadpitch vs the steel hardware. If memory serves me right Aluminum usually has a coaser threadpitch to resist crossthreading.

I think all you want is 95179, that contains the 6 bolts needed to put the PP on the f/w. I don't know what the other kit is for, but i do know that two of the bolts on the n/a flywheel are longer and you can't use them on the TII flywheel. In that one pic it looks like there are too many bolts?

Also, you will need to get bolts to put the counterweight on the flywheel unless they come with the ACT weight? I don't remember.

I got the act 6-puck sprung and prolite. The flywheel comes with all necessary bolts, the pressure plate (I just used my old ones) and the counterweight bolts. You do not need a bolt kit.

Car is almost done and I'm laid off, unemployment is avoiding me, and the piece of **** ford transmission in my mazda 626 just died at 108,000 miles. So, I have not driven it yet and my car will unfortunately not be able to make it to rotaryfest this year as planned. I put a valeo 4-puck with fizanda flywheel in my last tuner car and absolutely fell in love. Small grab window, yet smooth take off. I'm hoping this setup for the rx7 will have a similar feel.
