Default Is Gripforce a good flywheel?

Is this good or shitty? $275 with an exedy clutch.

well i do use their "stage 1" clutch and its pretty good. it nows chirps both tires instead of one...but as long as the flywheel isnt "too" light everything should be okay...i think 10-12 pounds should be good....hope this helps

Looks like a fidanza. If i remember correctly there are a few other companies out there that sell flywheels remarkably similar to fidanza's.
Are they knockoffs? Or are they re badging?

I know a couple people that have fidanza flywheels one in a fully built b18c5 that puts 230hp to the wheels and on a zc with some minor bolt ons. Both of them were very happy with the product.
