New lighter steel flywheel v stock flywheel
Choices choices...
In the end I feel like I'm going to go ahead and pick up a new flywheel, just wondering what kind of experiences you guys have had with aftermarket setups.
Goods? Bads?
I'm leaning towards this as a solution to match with a new ACT S/S clutch for my TII.
My concern with the stock flywheel is, it's been machined/resurfaced once already, and the stock disc replacement (30K ago) started slipping after opening up the entire exhast.
Thoughts?

I cant say from experience as of yet, but if you decide you do want a light steel flywheel, at www.horsepowerfreaks.com they have the ACT streetlite (13.9lb) for a tad over $200. I think the counterweight is something like $125 if you need it. I havent finished wiring up my microtech so i dont know how it is going to do but i'm hoping for good things.

I have the ACT ss clutch on my vert/t2 with the stock flywheel. I am changing to a ACT 6puck later this month because the ss clutch didn't feel alot better than stock. I am staying with the stock flywheel because I like stop light to stop light fun. But if you want a clutch go with a 6puck.

I have the ACT ss clutch with the RB 9.5# flywheel. This set up is PERFECT for my dailydriving/weekend autoxing. There is no reason not to go with a 9.5# flywheel(unless you're into drag or can't afford it). It's not nearly as hard to drive on the street as some make it out to be and it makes downshifting a dream. Get the lightened flywheel, and go for a 9.5# one if you can. Worth every penny.

It'd mostly be for the street, my TII has been my daily for the last three years.

you cant necessarily compare an RB 9.5#er with an X brand 9.5#er. they can be different.
i, too, want a light flywheel and my engine died and is being rebuilt soon. perfect time to replace clutch/flywheel setup. i cant afford the RB, so i may get the ACT Streetlite (or Prolite if i can find it cheap enough). i have a 91 N/A, though, so its harder to find flywheels (cheap).
