Thats good to hear. I am putting in a new clutch and planned on getting a new flywheel too. But I was looking at the SP 9lb. Might be too light and harsh but I already got a girl

Unless you are road racing stick with the stock flywheel. It ain't worth all that extra money to get an aluminum one

I have heard the opposite
Twin plate is nice, but it hurts the wallet. Hard petal or soft makes no differance to me.... as long as it can grip. I am going to do the flywheel also. I have heard that the 9lb'er is "fun" to drive, so I will find out in about a week. I thinking of going with the ACT HD PP with the s/s disc. Figure I will need to get the good stuff. Should be going single turbo in 6 months or so. Nothing crazy, 425rwhp or so. That clutch be able to hold it, right?
Thanks for the replies. You guys are awesome.

Centerforce doesn't seam to last on the fd. It also doesn't have those weights that the advertise because the fd has a pull-type clutch. The ss works well for cars making 400 hp or less. Beyond that you'll need the extreme.

It may be *fun* to drive a lightweight flywheel, but for drag racing you want the extra mass of the stock flywheel. Also the aluminum flywheel can warp if you abuse it too much...basically I rather spend the $500 on a water injection setup or something else cool that will make more power

I dunno, asfter having a lightweight flyhweel I'd never go back to stock. The car just revs soooo slow! Every time I test drive a customer's car and it has a stock flywheel I'm like %#@%^%^! Can't rev match properly. I've had my M2 9.5 lb for like 3 years now and 35k miles. Just recently I had to replace the friction surface on it.
