The chromoly Zex piece's look pretty nice, but they're like $450. Yikes. The Spoon B series flywheels are less than $400

yea, the ZEX one is the flywheel that I'm thinkin about. Seems like a good reliable unit. I was just concerned cuz my CRX is my daily driver, so I can't be putting on parts that are gonna cut down its drivability.
The only problem with a lightened flywheel, IMO, is start-off,
as 1stGenCRXer's said, and if your daily driving involves
alot of stop n' go, than it could be a problem. That's why I
didn't buy their "ultra" light one. You'll definately be satisfied
with the Zex unit I have, though, even with "rushhour type"
traffic; you just have to concentrate more on cluch release.
Lightening the flywheel's a definate :thumbup: with me,
whichever brand you choose, but the Zex chromemoly's
the best, IMO, at least for a D16. Spoon and TODA, as far
as I know, "specialize" in B16's, and have no parts for the
D series.

I do lots of stop and go driving, and it's fine. Took me all of 2 starts from a light to get used to, just gotta rev it up a few hundred rpm higher.
