Im wondering which one would weigh less. Rick says the VHR is forged and weighs 5 kgs (11lbs) lighter than stock. Im not sure how much Fidanza's weighs.

Also, would the VHR be ok for normal driving (unspirited)?

I don't think anyone has the weights of all of them.

Sorry.

I can tell you that the VHR clutch setup...

Clutch
Flywheel (Lightweight Forged)
Pressure Plate
Box
Tool and packing material

ALL weighed 26 pounds.

Ok, but is the clutch easy or harsh to use.

Will someone driving in rush hour traffic everyday get tired using a performance clutch because of the greater effort required?

Thanks

I can try to get the masurment of VHR flywheel. I have one sitting in my basement and it's for sale btw.

I drove a tib with stage 3 clutch, and clutch on my z28 is probably just as hard/harsh as stage 3 on any other car, and it's fine in traffic. You just get used to it. When I hop back into my tib from driving my z for a few days, it feels like clutch pedal is broken because it's so soft.

Waiting for that weight measurement OP.

BTW, I wanted to thank you. Because I read up on your rims, I went ahead and got a set of RO_JAs. They're in the wheels section.
