Reducing weight on the flywheel
Hi guys,
I just bought a new clutch kit and I was thinking that when I change the clutch I could reduce some weight on the flywheel.
I would like to know if you guys recommend this or not. And what are the advantages and disadvantages of this modification on a S4 N/A.
Thanks.

Because the flywheel is other counterweight to the engine I would not recommend having someone try to remove material, because odds are the unit will no longer be balanced. If you want to go that route get a atx counterweight that matches you engine series and a lightweight flywheel.

Like he said. You need a counterweight because the factory counter weight is built into the flywheel.

its been done, but the more weight you take off the more unsafe it gets.
