Fidanza flywheels come neutral balanced, as do most good quality pressure plates, so no need to balance. I have balanced, or should I say checked the balance and they have been right on the money out of the box both with and without the pressure plate bolted up.
I have a sprung hub disc in mine with a fidanza alum flywheel and it does help to absorb some of the rattle. Mine is a SPEC, which might be what Carolina is selling. it works well. George

I'm just blessed I guess. Nah, I have a good spot to get them that's all. Yours is pretty nice for a first-timer though. =D>

Thanks to all that have posted regarding the flywheel and clutch. I just got flywheel bolts today. Only thing left for the clutch is the speedometer gears. I'll be ordering them from Marc Monday. I'm installing them and the Hurst shifter while the trans is out on March 13th-14th, then the rear gears April 19th or so.

I had to buy a whole bag (25 ea) of the bolts and washers for the flywheel. I'll be putting up a separate post to sell two sets of them. Probably $14 shipped a set.

This will include 8 - 7/16"x20-1 1/4" Grade 8 Bolts and 8 washers.
Marc Haibeck recommends these as the bolts that come with the Fidanza are too short, 1", and the ones that are stock are too long 2". He also stated the washers are too thin also.

I went with the Stage 3 only because it was ceramic and aggressive. Boy does it grip well. I am sure a Stage 2 would be very nice as well.

What's the difference between Stage 2 and 3 price wise?

I didn't get a price on the Stage 3, but if I remember right, the Stage 3 complete kit was $25 more than the Stage 2 complete kit.
