The friction surface used is an incredibly strong 1045 steel. Friction plates are milled to meet high specifications. The replaceable surface is attached with military grade aerospace fasteners. With these replaceable friction plates there is no need to replace the entire flywheel when your Corvette's clutch or flywheel is at the end of it's life, saving time and money.
Ring gears are made from 1050 steel, heat treated for durability. Ring gears are heated and then pressed on and secured with grade 8 button screws. The stepped dowel system ensures that once the pressure plate is installed the dowels cannot be removed because they become locked into place. Fits all 2005-2013 LS2, LS3 & LS7 Corvettes.

Fidanza
Ever heard of Lou Fidanza? Well in the seventies and eighties, he won eleven straight SCCA national championships, and in 1980 beat Paul Newman’s Nissan 280ZX. Get this. Newman’s car was backed by the factory. Fidanza’s Jaguar had no such support. Lou figured things out on his own, and along the way, learned how to make aluminum flywheels. Today, Fidanza Performance offers aluminum flywheels for cars from every product line, and even though Lou no longer leads the company, Fidanza carries on his legacy. One of our sales representatives would be more than happy to explain to you the benefits of using a Fidanza flywheel instead of the OE steel flywheel.
