Default Centerforce DF 12" fit stock flywheel?

I'm thinking of installing a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch in my '02 Z06 and noticed they sell it with either an 11" or 12" disk. I am looking at the 12" version, but have a couple of questions.

Does the 12" fit the stock flywheel or would I have to buy an aftermarket one?

Also, for the life of me I can't figure out why the 12" is less expensive than the 11". Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks

Just installed the Centerforce 12" with a resurfaced stock flywheel (it was pretty new). I also installed the Tick MC with remote bleeder. Almost done breaking it in, seems to be doing pretty well.

Your overall thoughts so far comparing to stock?

Well since it is not a solid disk, it will chatter a bit if the clutch is not let out perfect. But man does it sure grab. It is definitely more of an on/off clutch. And for the money, it's hard to beat.

I went with the 11 because I didn't like the disc in the 12". Mine also chatters a bit but it's more the way you release it, and it grabs hard.

The price difference is one of lifes mysteries. I'd venture a guess it's the differences in design of the clutch disc.
