hey guys...so i went to garden city mazda so they would install my clutch and flywheel. The flywheel which is a Streetlite, was apparently to difficult for them to install. They claimed it was smaller and didn't properly. I called the guy at Work Concepts, and he said the counterweight aren't one piece like the stock dealy. I tried explaining that. Unfortunately, I'm left with a Spec Stage 2 and a stock flywheel. Will I have any problems? Is there a long period before the clutch is broken in?

DUDE - you need to bring it back to them and tell them to either install it properly or return it to how it was previously. They are professional mechanics!!! THey should either be able to do the [relatively simple] job or be professional about it and tell you they can't do it.
Do some more searching on here, but I don't know, is a stock flywheel compatible with an aftermarket clutch??
