Default ECS RA4 clutch kit vs DXD Southbend stage 2 daily

I can't decide which clutch I should get, I'm tempted to go with the ECS RA4 kit because of the lighter flywheel. I haven't driven a car with a ligher flywheel, so I don't know how badly I will do driving with the RA4 kit. I also don't know wether to get the stage 2 kit or stage 1 kit for the RA4. I'm working the gtrs28 eliminator kit and a giac chip and going to be doing the exhaust etc. so I was quoted around 350hp after all said and done.

To be honest with you, I don't think any of those clutches will do the job. The ECS flywheels are lighter because they're much thinner. Do some searching on the zine, there's plenty of threads there with people having issues. I would go with at least a stage 3 kit for that turbo, maybe Clutch Masters or Southbend. I don't know too much about their DXD clutches

ive got the ra4 clutch with s4 disk and 316awhp. no problems yet. but i didnt really have money to upgrade. it will work fine for you for a while, but you should look into a better clutch. if you dont plan on ever making more power im sure you could get away with the ra4 flywheel and rs4 disk
