Helix/TTV Lightened Flywheels?

sod it then. Standard clutch it is. My sachs has only lasted about 2 years and now is juddering. I drive like a girl so I'm going back to valeo.

Spring force can stay the same, but if you reduce the area (through paddles) your contact pressure is much higher.

But I might have got this wrong.

i think that is one of the main principals of the paddle rather then a full plate like a standard runs

but you need the extra force an uprated cover offers, as alex has found out above

on a standard/breathed motor a paddle may work well in a standard cover

mine doesnt it didnt like standard and i went paddle plate its better but tbh not anywere near what difference i expected from it and slipped lots still when my right foot became lead

anyway back onto flywheels not to derail the helix seem pretty good to me but ive ot compared to a machined steel item

is there a noticable difference in the engine responsiveness with a lighter flywheel or do other changes need to be made at the same time?
