Installing Quaife, what else when everything is down?

Im having a quaife atb installed 29/3, what else should I change at the same time to save on the labor cost?

I already have a Fidenza lightweight flywheel (I know there's a big "DOH" on not installing the quaife and changeing clutch at the same time).

The fiodanza makes a lot of noise with the stock clutch, I heard that you solve this by changeing to dampened clutch.

So, should I buy a new clutch and install at the same time? Is there anything else I should install to save future labor costs?

Thx
BR

If you have a few $$$ extra, a new clutch kit would be a good thing...

I had my transmission changed last summer, and I got a new clutch disc & bushing at the same time... It is a good thing to change it at the same time because the labor for changing a clutch worths a lot more than the clutch itself.

Beside the clutch, I don't think there is anything else you should consider changing at the same time, as you already did the flywheel...

BTW, enjoy the LSD, it is awesome and worth it! I just love mine and can't believe I drive witout it for 3 years lol
