Lightweight Flywheel Question (N/a)

Who has one? and what weight?

Would love to hear comments and opinions on this from people who actually own one, or have first hand experience.

Also how do you find it for a daily driver.

I've got the 17 lb RB flywheel on my daily driver (87 na). I haven't had any problems with the drivability of the car at all. It just takes a little getting used to, starting on hills included.

Agreed.

For a daily driver, lightened steel is the best choice when upgrading your flywheel. Still have decent intertial to deal with stop and go driving. Aluminum flywheel in stop and go can be a real pita.

I've got the RB lightweight steel and I'll never go back. I have nothing bad to say about it.

I had an ACT street light. It drove sweet.

I probably would not get another 6-puck copper/ceramic clutch for daily driving.
