You can reuse your stock flywheel, just have it resurfaced. If you insist on a new aftermarket one MAP has a nice aluminum one with replaceable steel friction rings.

You're not going to break a stock flywheel, especially at such a mild power level

Lightweight isn't necessarily bad, just be aware of what you're getting yourself into before purchasing. Low-speed drivability and idle with A/C on will not be as smooth as stock, and you will have to be quicker with the clutch than you're currently used to. I had a lightweight flywheel on my IX but don't plan on doing one on my X since it's my daily-driver that sees all types of traffic and road conditions, and my goal is to keep it as smooth as stock so anyone can jump in and drive it.

No aluminum because of heat? Aluminum dissipates heat more quickly than steel. If you prefer a steel one though, there are plenty on the market such as Competition and ACT.

I know that the aluminum get rid of heat quicker but it can't stand as mch heat. My dad has aluminum heads and they got to hot and messed up
