Which throw out bearing are you using with the OZ700? Not looking for speculation or arm-chair advice. Only those that have 1st hand knowledge please. Thanks in advance for your time and information. 2003 Z06 approx. 450 RWHP

I used the new design (89059282) GM one during my OZ700 swap. I havent had any issues other than some occasional light chatter. For reference I've put about 8k miles on it with ~350rwhp and about 1k with 501 rwhp. Nice wheels BTW

Thanks for the info HP; and thanks for the wheel compliment. I was going to go with HRE until I found out the weight difference between them and the FIKSE. The FIKSE are the only wheels lighter than the stock Z06 wheels (for the same size).
Have a good day!
