FD Flywheel Upgrade?

from what I've found, the FC's flywheel is 30 lbs and the FD's is 19.

How much does the S5 Turbo2 flywheel weigh and would it be worth the upgrade?

FD flywheel can be used on an s5 TII as an upgrade.

According to Mazdatrix, s5 TII flywheel is 23lbs stock, FD is 20lbs stock, s4 TII is 27lbs stock.

If you got the money to swing it, get the RB or similar aluminum flywheel. I got the light steel one, and I love it in comparison to stock, but now wish I had the aluminum one.

I had an RB aluminum FW, but I needed cash quick so I traded it for $100 and an FD flywheel. The RB is like 15 Llbs with the counterweight so I figured it's not much of an upgrade for a FD, but would be perfect for an FC. Oh well, 3 lbs is good
