Stock vs. APR flywheels and clutch (pics)

Here's a shot of the clutch and flywheels:


And the high-tech super accurate bathroom scale says:

APR flywheel: 11.5 lbs


APR clutch disk: 3.5 lbs


APR pressure plate: 8.5 lbs


Total weight: 23.5 lbs

Stock flywheel: 24.5 lbs


Stock clutch disk: 2.0 lbs


Stock pressure plate: 9.0 lbs


Total weight: 35.5 lbs

The bathroom scale has a +/- accuracy of about 0.5 lbs.
It's interesting to note that the flywheel is 13 lbs. lighter, but the clutch disk is 1.5 lbs heavier. Not a big difference, and you're actual weight savings is slightly less than advertised, but it's still a big help.

I also notice that my flywheel looks different than the one APR pictures. I'd be curious to see what other people's looks like.

Since you switched to the 2.8 tranny, and are using the APR clutch and flywheel, does that mean that the APR cluch and flywheel will work on any 2.8?

Thanks,

You could give an Audi dealer a call and find out if the flywheel/clutch are the same from a 2.8 and 1.8

So, rotational inertia tells me that you will see a big difference

thanks for your concern though.

I know Speedtech Manufacturing are making 5-6 lbs flywheels for the A4/S4's.
