Default upgrading flywheel

hi, have any of you upgraded the flywheel on your dc5 ?what was the weight? i guess if i go along with this i will change the clutch too even though i have plenty of life on mine.

also how much did the labor cost you. i am on the fence with modding this car so any input will be appreciated.

i was gonan do the flywheel on my rsx too. personally i was gonna do the flywheel but leave the clutch because my clutch is in great shape and has no need for changing. i was gonna do an ACT flywheel which weighs just under 9 lbs i think. if you wanna do clutch, get an ACT clutch... ive herad nothing but good things about them. also, idk about the cost of labor but i was gonna do this install myself because my friend is a great mechanic and he'll watch over me. my input, do flywheel but leave the stock clutch

There are many, many more cost effective mods than a lighter flywheel. Not to mention, why change just the fly and not the clutch? Most shops here in Jersey charge around 450 for a clutch install and obviously installing a fly means pulling the clutch and reinstalling it.

My advice is to start w/ the simple things and decide where you want to go with the car. If your going NA, then start w/ a Cold Air Intake, Race Header, and Exhaust. If your looking to boost than start saving.
