I have had experience with both ClutchMaster lightweight flywheel and the ACT Xact 8.5lb racing flywheel. both are very nice and I honestly can't tell much of a difference between the two. So I would pick either one of those out of your choices

many choices, whatever fits your budget. choice comes down to stock shaved piece, aluminium or chromoly. difference between 6.75-9/10lbs unit is next to impossible to tell.

stock shaved = no less then 12lbs when doen right and for safety
aluminum = fidanaza/cm and comptech all seem to be the same as far as quality (all are made by fidanza)
chromoly = Toda, Cusco, spoon, SRR, ACT all are great. with exception of SRR and ACT all seem to be more expensive then aluminum units.

from the one I used to have, it was next to impossible to tell the difference between a 12lbs and 8.5lbs chromoly units. :
Cusco

Toda

stock shaved unit to 12.75lbs

sotck shaved unit 11.25lbs

heard of issues with the USDM starters, but then again I have been running JDM starters. never had any problems with either unit.

i dont know, people must just not give it enough gas to engage 1st, the revs drop fast, and they stall... it seems like a compotent driver should be able to adapt to a lighter flywheel in a few hours... but i have never felt one so i dont have room to criticize

I'll back you up on that one,some people say you have problems daily driving,stalling and all that cause its so light.I never once had a problem with my CM flywheel,it revs so fast compared to stock i love it.I got it on group buy center for 285shipped.
