[s-cars] WAS: Ball bearing turbo NOW: Centerforce clutch

[Emre Washburn]

Gabriel,

I think you came into this thread a bit late. All parites know that
the Centerforce Dual Friction kit, number DF074006, is designed for
usage with the stock dual mass flywheel, which is why it comes with an
unsprung hub. What the question is here is why Dave's kit, the "same
kit" I orderd, and what should be the "same kit" that came off my car,
has a sprung hub.
