CHanging my clutch on MY97 sti type r. I know a place local to me who can skim or lighten the flywheel. Is it just a straight forward procedure once I give them the flywheel or do I need to tell them certain things, weights etc...

No you shouldnt have to tell them any thing specific if it is a reputable place they will know their stuff. The procedure is fairly straightforward as the name suggests they skim a thin layer off the flywheel. the only proviso is there is a limit to how much can be skimmed so make sure you question them about this. good luck.

Depends on what you like really. If you're getting the OE one lightened you can only safely go down to 8kg I believe.
Aftermarket ones are obviously more expensive than just machining the OE one.
The v light flywheels require a bit more skill for launching hard, but are worthwhile IMO. Some people dont get on with them at the drag strip, but I dont have any probs.
Adam has an aftermarket one for sale I believe which isnt going to cost too much more than a machined OE one.
