Default which flywheel

Well I already have the Exedy Stage 1 clutch. Now I just need to decide which flywheel to get. I am deciding between the ACT prolite which is 8.8 lbs I think and, I've found it for $250 or the Fidanza flywheel which is either 8 or 8.5lbs and I have found it for $325.

I was just wondering if anyone has had experience with either and, which is better? And if anyone knows of where I could find either of these flywheels for cheaper then what I have found them. Thanks

I am running the ACT streetlite clutch @ 12 lbs. It's nice, a bit chatter when you engage at low speeds but that's expected with a light clutch.

I have a 7.5lb fidanza and I love it.

Sounds good I think I'm set on getting the Fidanza. Where did you get yours at and for how much? The best I have found it for is 325 right now and that sounded like a pretty good price.

Oh and I forgot to ask. How long did it take you to get used to driving with the lighter flywheel? Do you ever stahl out at idle?

It didnt take long at all. Just give it a tad more gas when you engage the clutch. I don't remember how much I paid for it, it's been about 2 years.

I got the 8 lb fidanza, honestly i took all of 5 seconds to get use to the different feel of the pedal.

Since i installed it 3 months ago I stalled it 3 times. Performance difference is night and day. the car drives so much better now!!

you wont be dissapointed!
