I have the F3.2 - great clutch. The 4.3 is a step up from mine in terms of holding power. I have heard the engagement is close but the 4.3 is more positive in feel (really grabs hard).

Sorry a little bit off topic. I been also searching for a fidanza clutch. I'm really interested in F3.2. Just wanted to know how stiff is the pedal feel compare to stock?

Check out this feature article for more information regarding the 3.2 version:

https://www.evolutionm.net/features/article.php?id=97

You can also find some comments on the 4.3 in the comments thread found at the bottom of that article. We have had nothing but rave reviews about these clutches from Evo owners.

Thanks for the link and please let me know if you find a better price as we will not be beat!

Im using the 4.3 with stock resurfaced flywheel. The clutch from IMO is over kill for DD or street use. The clutch grabs hard but if your stuck in traffic then it sucks. Well you just have to get use to it. Im fine with it now that im use to it. I havent launched the car on it yet or nothin i only have about 2k on the clutch and my new tranny so im gonna hold off till track season to launch it but the way the clutch grabs i dont think i should have any problem with it slipping. Unless i slip it on purpose.

And for you Dj manny the pedal wont feel any different with this clucth or any unless u have a twin disc b.c are clutches are hydraulic the pedal pressure should always be the same unless you have an all out race/ twin clutch. i may be wrong but im pretty sure about this.

Pedal pressure will differ with how strong the pressure plate is. ACT's heavier pressure plates can really make the clutch pedal stiff, but I really like the ones used by Fidanza since they really aren't much heavier than stock.

My friend has had the Fidanza aluminum flywheel for a while now and its really nice. Its held up to plenty of abuse and is very streetable (I've driven it numerous times).

I've just upgraded from a 3.2 to a 4.3. So far, it feels very similar. It uses a stock pressure plate, and engages pretty smoothly. The 3.2 seemed to have some problems holding during hard launches at the track. In retrospect, I wish I would've gone with the 4.3 right off the bat.

BTW: As was mentioned earlier, during quick shifts, the clutch does grab really hard. You'll hear and feel it
