Default Resurfaced stock flywheel and Spec clutch?

Resurfaced stock flywheel and Spec clutch? Will this work?
Is there something special I have to be careful at? like shimming the slave cylinder for the lost flywheel thickness?

I recently swapped the A4 with a M6 and at idle the engine is shaking more than before (I had the stock converter).
I have the Spec steel flywheel and I think it's lighter than the stocker.
Will this cause the vibrations?
In this case I would install the stock -resurfaced- flywheel. I just don't know if the Spec clutch + pressure plate will work. Any idea?

Thanks - Stefano

Can a lighter flywheel cause some vibrations compared to the stocker?

Did you use a shim??
You told us you did it but never really answered anything he asked.

I am wondering the same thing. About the install everything including the new SPEC clutch and I had the stock flywheel resurfaced.

Any chatter with the Spec clutch?
Was it better after resurfacing the stock flywheel?
