Just supply the Loctite Blue and some grease for the pilot bearing. This is the lightest rotating mass kit you'll find short of a billet (EXPENSIVE) pressure plate system.
Thanks for the reply. please forgive my ignorance but do i need to replace any seals or anything else when the clutch and flywheel are changed? Can you PM me with a detailed list of what will be shipped? Is that shipping to Victoria British Columbia Canada or just in the U.S.

You having good luck with the non "+" Spec clutches? I know on the RX-7 running low 300 RWHP it will smoke the stage 1-3 clutch unless its the + "upgraded pressure plate"

Not sure if you took what I said the wrong way. Im not knocking your clutches. From my experience with Spec clutches and its extensive considering I have been selling them and installing them for years, the non upgraded pressure plates do not hold the power. I dont know which one you use, so thats why I was asking.
