I know that these are different clutches (or so I'm told), but is this feasible? If so, are there any glitches, trade offs, or important things to know going into this mod?

You need to either buy an S4S flywheel from Lotus or a custom Flywheel from JAE that will work with either clutch.

The flywheel from JAE is a good quality part and slightly lighter. You will also need to change the master cylinder to the larger .70 bore. The slave can remain the same.

A better bet would be to buy one of Marcus' uprated clutches -- "25% and 35%" from http://freudhoefer.de/lotus/esprit/

I have the "25%" in my car

I think they both are "better" than the S4s clutch and plug n' play.
