Resurface or replace, there is no other option

A lightened flywheel is gonna take away from the daily driver ability of the car, just depends on what ur looking for.

Just get your flywheel resurfaced when you install the new clutch. I have the same clutch and it works very well with a resurfaced OEM flywheel. As others have pointed out an aftermarket light weight flywheel will take away from the drivability of the car. The shop that did my clutch install had the OEM flywheel resurfaced at a local machine shop for $50.

This.
I daily drove a Civic with a 9lb flywheel. Never again.


PM me if you need a competitive quote on that clutch. I'd like to earn your business.
