Default Clutch/ Flywheel replacement

Curious if anyone has had their clutch and/or flywheel replaced in a 2.0/2.5L engine. I am getting some shuddering at low speed and think my flywheel needs to either be resurfaced or replaced. My question is if anyone has found a Light Weight Flywheel or had one installed.
I see this one from FVD but haven't seen anyone post about using this in their car.
Thanks

I've seen the Ninemeister clutch and flywheel kit in person at their shop and its far too nice to hide away. Three are some YouTube videos of one of their clutch kits fitted to a GT4 going hell for leather around a track.

I just started looking into options for clutches and it's surprisingly difficult to find anything. Does no one make an aftermarket clutch rated for higher torque? For many cars, ACT clutches, Exedy, etc. But nada for the 718 Cayman that I can find.

I have seen that to but I don't think that will work for a 4cyl 718. Need to reach out as their website shows just for the GT4 and 4.0 cars.

I haven't either for clutches. Figured I would use the stock clutch kit with a LWF but it would be nice to have a clutch with more clamping power.

If you contact Peter at Ninemeister, he will ship out a clutch and flywheel to you. Just drop him an email

Thanks. This is the offering from Ninemeister for a light weight flywheel and upgraded clutch package.

I am going to plan to get this soon. Will update once installed.
