I believe it include's all bearings. E-mail or call him, Jeff is a great guy. I wouldn't go with an ACT disc, Jeff can tell you why. Its not neccesary, the stock clutch with ACT pressure plate has PLENTY of clamping force.

you should be shifting so fast u dont need to even let off the gas. just use the clutch to change gears while remaining full throttle. it's the fastest way to shift....

AP2 dif is reportedly stronger, but marginally.

AP2 with delay removed: if you try to shift like lightning, you will certainly fry the clutch in no time. The heavy flywheel cannot slow in that quick of time.

AP2 cars take a different technique to drive, esp with the delay removed. If you've got it down, you will always walk an AP1, stock for stock. Timing is everything.
Bullsh*t, yO!
I walk my buddies new AP2 every time. I'll I have is an exhaust which reportedly loses HP. The spread of misinformation on this forum is contagious.

Please read Billman's statement entirely before insulting one of the most respected mechanical minds on s2ki.

What he was saying was that the AP2 must be properly driven which is a different technique from an AP1. Your buddy probably doesn't drive it as well as he could.
