Getting flywheel installed, best brand?

No, I didn't search... my car is at the shop as we speak and I need to get one ordered right away and get it to them asap. Which one is the best? He said that OE's would be fine, but I know it would be way more expensive than any others, so I may as well go with the aftermarket one.

Anyway, what do you all recommend?

I got an ACT to go with my ACT Clutch kit. Quality product and reasonably priced. I've had great luck with ACT in the past. I'd go with either ACT or Fidanza. PM me with questions.

stock is 13.9 i think, and ACT is 13.1

not much weight drop, but some, slightly noticeable, good for daily driving and still good at dragway. Only go a lot lighter if you will be doing a lot of track events, else it is not great for daily..

I have the act sprung 6 puck and the streetlite flywheel. daily driving is great. took till about i got 1500 miles on clutch to be real smooth. but when it grabs it grabs and holds. revs seem to be a little quicker, and dont hang so much as did with the stock.

If your budget is tight this is a good way to go, otherwise the other recommendations are all good.

I would avoid aluminum for DD... tends to warp more than steel.
