Thanatos, yes they are not going to balance the assembly yet as they are waiting on me to tell them if I am getting a new clutch or not, so they will be balanced together.
I still have to decide though if I will re-use my stock flywheel. I'm not understanding why I would need to buy another flywheel along with the CF clutch.
I probably will get a new master and slave cylinder, along with a pilot bearing and remote bleeder. Any recommnedations on who has the best prices on those, I am all ears...
Sebastien,thanks but brand new from a store the clutch is only like $380, I can't imagine the flywheel being more than $265?....also I as stated I am not sure if I need an aftermakret flywheel along with the clutch...

I'm running a 12" Centerforce DF clutch in my Z06, and I like it a lot... stock pedal feel and drivability, and holds my 440rwhp just fine. I ran it with the stock flywheel at first, and now I'm putting it back together with a Fidanza aluminum flywheel to save some weight.
One thing to note is, because of the floating weight system, this clutch cannot be easily balanced by a machine shop. Centerforce said the weight system would have to be removed prior to balancing, which usually requires cutting the wire that holds it together. They told me that I could do that, and then ship the clutch back to them, and they would reinstall the weight system for free if I wanted.
If you're going to do it, I would recommend saving the trouble, and ordering the clutch and flywheel as a balanced assembly.
Oh, and check out E-Powershops (forum vendor) - they gave me a smokin' good price on my Centerforce clutch.
