Don't get me wrong, lighter would be better for acceleration...but when you shift, your RPMs will drop faster than if you had tad lighter steel flywheel.
You will feel nothing with a Type R flywheel...
Plus, the RPMs dropping faster is over-exagerated. It's really not significant at all.

Fidanza is great @ 7.5lbs, and from what Ive seen of the ACT flywheels, theyre very nice and super cheap as well.
In terms of weight, its important to find out not only how much it weighs, but where that weight is distributed. Thats what counts. The Fidanza's design is great, as well as Toda if I remember right.
The problem with Toda is that youre paying for:
A)the name
B)Chromoly steel which isnt ideal IMO
Id go Fidanza personally.
Just get an ACT. Paying another 100 plus for a Fidanza is a waste. If you're going to go for the best, than get a Toda.
