They look great.

How are they compare to Fidanza light weight?

You should do a combo package with the act street with the lightweight disc for vendors to sell.

Package price is good because if the price is right, it cuts down on shopping around, it makes vendors money, it moves the manufacturers products out more and faster, and it's a good way to do a free marketing.

imo of course.

I've already had my stock flywheel resurfaced and according to the shop that did it it was pretty trashed so I doubt I can resurface it again. My POS RRE clutch is slipping now after only 8 months and 2 trips to the track with it, Im planning on getting an ACT clutch, but how much is a new stock flywheel from Mitsu? Anyone have experience with teh Prostreet chromoly flywheels?

The Fidanza works fine. The diff. in weight is no big deal as most of the savings is in the hub area since the friction surface is steel as is the ring gear. I replaced my set up since the labor was a gift for my dealer. My stock set up had a servicable disk with 40% thicknress remaining but the f/w had blued and that disturbed me. The stock clutch lock up was iffy especially with the restrictor valve in place. The stock f/w was 315 from the dealer and I bought the Fidanza for 350 if memory serves. Hope this helps as it is not hypothetical but rather my direct observation.

Damn the stock one is $315?? Thats quite a bit more then the DSM flywheel. Anyone have experience with the Prostreet Flywheel, I'd love to get an ACT flywheel but I cant wait a few months for it to be available cause my clutch is slipping right now. Unless ACT has any theyd be willing to sell me now before they are officially released....cough cough...

I love my act clutch/fidanza flywheel combo. It revs much quicker and the throttle response is a little better. I highly recommend it.

Yeah it sucks mine just started slippin too. I've had many track days though and i'm hittin that 26000 mark. Anyways so what's the update on that act flywheel. I guess I'm gonna try and go with that act clutch/fidanza setup if they don't have a release date then. I hate it when the stupid hondas pull up revin their engines checkin me out *im a girl*............ and I can't even snap them!! j/k! I still get them but, my car hates me for it!!! hahaha

there really is no reason why you could not resurface the stock, unless it was so mangled that replacement is the only option. Even then, the new stock one from Mitsubishi is not overly expensive

Why would a light flywheel cause a CEL?

I run ACT and Fidanza in my evo and love the combination
Untrue. The Pro Street flywheel is resurfaceable.

Ok, so the Fidenza has a friction plate that is replaceable.

What is the cost for that replaceable friction plate ?

and ...

Will it be a problem or hassle to obtain a discreet part like friction
plate as opposed to just buying another flywheel.
