Just wanted to get some opinions on this flywheel from folks that have used it. Looking to buy, but wanted to get personal opinions.

I have an email into them w/ some questions also, but I'll ask here also:

Friction plate -- is it removeable like the RB one?
Quality?
etc?

thanks!!

Yes the plate is removable. I just installed this with the ACT clutch package from them into my vert. Quality is top notch. To tell you the truth though, you can find the same quality setup for at least a few hundred dollars cheaper. Wish I wouldn't have been so impatient

Does the SR flywheel come with a counterweight?? Id assume you have to specify S4 or S5 if it did, and I didnt see anywhere where they asked you that on their page. And where can you get a 9.5# flywheel for less??

The counterweight is like $90 extra or something. You would need to tell them the engine it's bolting to. S4 NA, S5 NA, S5 Turbo, etc. For example on mine, I'm bolting to an RE, so I need to use my existing RE auto counterweight.

RX-Heven -- please do tell where to get one cheaper. Everyone I have found has been right at the $425-$455 price range!

Sorry for the misinformation, but the lower price I saw after I bought mine was for the entire flywheel/ clutch/ bearing/ counterweight package like what I got from SR. I can't rememer most sites, but here is one

Actully, I just went to SR's site and it looks like they lowered their prices from what I paid them. I think the other link is still cheaper

I just got an email from Racing Beat... and for my application it will be $370 for the flywheel (7.9lbs). Going to get that one I think.

A friend of mine is putting one in his 10AE. The quality looks excellent, and he's upset that such a show-quality piece of equipment will never be seen by the public, lol. He got a special package deal on the flywheel, ACT clutch, and XT pressure plate.

No need for love when you can get XXX:
