Your best bet is to do a search. They all are going to have positives and negatives. Read up before you make your choice.

I bought my ACT clutch and prolight flywheel from Chris at nolimitmotors and couldnt be happier with it.Great price,great customer service,very fast delivery. The car launches like a rocket and is as smooth as glass and quiet as stock. Check into it,you cant go wrong.

I would have to agree, I have the ACT and prolite also. the only complaint I had about it was that when i decel from 4th gear it makes a fairly loud grinding sound. I asked the guys at the local shop I got it installed at and they said it was just because of the lighter flywheel. If you want that stocker feel at all times I would say just go for the ACT and keep your oem flywheel. I can't tell that much difference between the two cept the revs.

Hmmm, it shouldnt be making a grinding noise at all.

If it was the flywheel it would make the same sound on both acceleration and deceleration. In addition to which the flywheel does not know what gear you're in. Typically you get flywheel noises when you use a lightened flywheel on cars that use a dual mass unit, which are very heavy and dampen the noise. On those applications it happens irregardless of the gear or whether the car is accelerating or decelarating or at idle. The 350Z/G35,and Supra TT use a dual mass flywheel design,the Evo doesn't. What you're describing does not sound like a flywheel problem.
