Where from Texas will they be shipped?
I dont see where your email address is, I think you should edit the first post and include the info about the GP, when they will be shipped after you have 10 buyers, instructions for "signing up", your email address, and the allready included list of parts.
thanks

I just posted in the manual section...
They say they only sell as a kit because they want to have a consistant setup, so if people have problems they know whats wrong.
So why does the distributer seprately balance the FW and PP so you can "safely" swap the flywheel later?
Its recomended you get a new flywheel when you buy a new clutch, I would buy one anyway...
If the flywheel was a high performance type I wouldnt think twice about buying it with the kit, but this kit comes with a stock OEM flywheel. Hopefully there is a reason

i get why hes balancing it...
for the exact reason you ended your post with... so that we can get a aftermarket billet or otherwise lightweight flywheel, and still use the clutch.
heres all i want:
cheap clutch
daily drivable
launchable on slicks with occasional shot of nitrous.. im nowhere near its limits.. just a 224/228 cam. i dont even have a nitrous kit (yet)
im a "old school" guy.
a clutch is like a brake lining... warranty? short of it blowing apart and fragging the car (who said spec!? i didnt say spec...) i dont expect any re-embursement for it slipping with 1500 miles on it... that just means i screwed up the install somewhere.
i just need the disc and pressure plate... how much?

Textralia will only sell them as a unit. I can't buy the parts separately.
I started having them double balanced just to ensure everything was perfect when I did an install. I didn't really intend on selling a bunch on the Forums.
The way they come from Textralia is just fine.
All my contact info is on my website. I'll add it to my sig.
It's funny, all this talk on the Forum and hardly anybody has actually contacted me about this. If you want info, you really have to call or email me. I just don't have the time to go to all the various forums every day. Questions here may go unanswered for a couple of days due to that.

Hmmm, I dont mind getting it all for the initial purchase, but I dont like the idea of having to buy the whole package the second or especially the third time around, rather than just pressure plate and disc. I wonder if there are any plans to change this in the future.

I'd also like to know what it weighs (since there are different OEM FW's with different weights).
