Default Lightened flywheel?

Hi guys,I'm just about to have an upgraded clutch fitted and was thinking of buying an Exedy lightened flywheel to go on at the same time.
Any thoughts on this?
Car is a v5 type R.

Thanks.



Danny.

Don't go too light as it makes the car harder to get off the line during normal driving; it will bog down or even stall unless you keep the revs up as there's too little inertia, hence you tend to slip the clutch a bit more with higher revs when pulling away in traffic.

i had one fitted in my sti when i fitted an exedy pink box.
revs a lot easier and also engine braking is far better, is slightly easier to stall but not a whole lot different to original

I also replaced my standard heavy flywheel,with a 7kg Fidanza lightweight flywheel when putting in a Excedy pink clutch in my V5 sti wagon,and have noticed no problems stalling,but gear changes are quicker and car feels alot smoother. I did skim at work ( I'm a cnc machinist) my old sti flywheel from 14kg down to around 11kg so its soon on fleabay lol

We do these ones which seem ideal and are very popular: http://www.superhids.co.uk/clutches-...l-5-speed.html or as a complete package: http://www.superhids.co.uk/clutches-...a-5-speed.html

Can supply even lighter versions, but they take a little longer to get used to.

One of the best upgrades you can do IMHO.
