I believe most buyers who have a positive experience both pre & post purchase normal become repeat buyers from the same source. Given my past positive buying experience with Kevin I returned back to him (Kevin) for my LWFW / Sachs package. My first priority is service & after purchase support (together with the product)……at times you may pay a few dollars more, but dollars paid should be measured on the total package incl. pre & post support. Having said that I have spoken with Stephen…..he is also a first class guy. Overall it is great that people support and share there positive buying experience’s.

at a minimum you need to machine the fw. while your in there it wold make sense to do all those things that can and will fail. avoid some future labor costs

If the flywheel is in good shape then there is no need IMO. When I did mine, the flywheel was in good shape at 28K miles.

No, you don't. If you want to keep the driveability of stock, I would keep the stock dual mass flywheel and just upgrade the clutch.
