bout to get a gsr swap and was wondering if instead of gettin a aftermarket flywheel or should i just get my gsr FW and get it trimmed down and a machine shop????? is there a real big difference for my buck?

 

If they're not known for shaving weight off flywheels be very careful, I heard they can crack.

definitely get a lighter flywheel, you will love the difference depending on how light you want to go. shaving off weight off the stock flywheel isnt the best idea, but if you insist on doing it i believe you can do 3-4lbs 'safely.' i purchased my brand new spoon lightweight fw for $300. search around and you will find good deals on brand new flywheels saving yourself a headache and major complications down the road.

 

get an after market flywheel

 

I have a 94 LS and I got a XACT Prolite flywheel (8.8lbs) for $275. I will NEVER go back!! Suggestion though, I heard of bad things happening with aluminum flywheels, like shattering...that's why I went with XACT, it's a chromoly flywheel. check this video out that I made of my car accelerating out of 2nd gear...

id have to reccomend the fidanza 7.5 pounder, a friend had it and absoloutly loved the thing, he got it offline for like $300 shipped

 

cant go lower then 12 lbs on a stock or else the flywheel will become unstable

 

8.9lb AASCO from Heel-Toe, aluminum, replaceable face, great buy!

OpTix619 why would you say that less than 12 lb flywheels are unstable?? What are you basing that claim off of? proof?.......that's what I thought.

i think optix meant shaving down the stock flywheel under 12 lbs. will cause it to be unstable not aftermarket ones

 

My misunderstanding, thanks for clairification.
