Default Clutch Kits!

Well, I am trying to decide which clutch and flywheel to go with, the SM Sachs, or the LUK DM. Anyone use the LUK clutch kit with their DM flywheel?
A number of people have complained about the rattle with the SM at idle. Lighter flywheels will create a tricky launch in first gear. I am leaning more toward the LUK DM kit for smoother shifting.

The rattle is really no big deal, and the SMF really has no impact on shifting. My SMF shifts smooth as butter. And I like the piece of mind that my flywheel isn't a ticking time bomb.

Go with the stock weight flywheel and you'll be fine.
