Default Clutch / Flywheel combo

Did some searching, looks like ACT seems to be a good clutch and prolite with the flywheel. What would be a good combo for my soon to be blown 5th gen prelude? 8 or 12lb flywheel? With the lighter weight it might fall out of vtec which i definately dont want. what you guys suggest?

If you need a pressure plate and 6 puck disk we have one on ebay for 1 more day. Its ACT they custom made the pressure plate for us to hold 600ft/lb of torque
This was only used 3 1/4 mile passes. This can save you a gang of cash.

i'd go with the 8 lb. if u shift quick enough your engine speed won't drop too rapidly. as for the clutch, i'd drive some friend's car or ask others how they like they're ACT or other clutch. i have a clutchmasters and love it, i've driven cars with ACT and hated it, but thats just my opinion.

Yea the car is my only means of transportation and i drive it a lot (1000 miles a month?) and non of my friends have manuel cars because they're girly men. What are the gains on a 12lb flywheel anyone? I think im gonna go with a 12lb and a act clutch stage 3?

I have a Fidanza 8lb flywheel and an Exedy Race clutch. I am VERY happy with my purchase.

Also, anyone who says that you fall out of VTEC with an 8lb flywheel, they obviously have never driven a car with one installed.

Also, daily driving is NOT any harder. Just a LITTLE different.

I am VERY happy with my purchase.

no personal expeirence here but I've been looking for the same kind of set up that you are and from the people i've talked to with H series the ones with the 12#er regret not getting the 8#er cuz they didn't notice much of a diffrence with the 12# one. So I'd say go with an 8#er.
