Default 5th Gen ACT 11.9lb Flywheel

Hey people I really need your help,

I am about to purchase a flywheel and narrow it down to this one.
I just got 2 questions before I spend $200 and this thing.

Is this made out of Chromoly?

Is Prostreetonline.com the best place to buy this flywheel? As in best value?

Thank.

ACT currently manufactures XACT flywheels in two versions, ProLite for road racing
applications and very quick throttle response, and slightly heavier StreetLite for street and drag racing vehicles which may require more inertia. For example, the Integra ProLite weighs 8.8lbs and the Integra StreetLite weighs 12.5lbs. Both ProLite and StreetLite flywheels are precision made from Chrome-moly forgings and feature an induction hardened integral ring gear. All ProLite and StreetLite flywheels are CNC machined, heat treated for strength and precision balanced. Substantial material is left behind the clutch surface area for better heat dissipation and durability while weight savings is made where it matters the most for reduced inertia.


People sure dont take the time to read for themselfs.. anymore...

I wouldn't purchase a 8lbs flywheel...IMO that is just way tooo light. I have a 12lbs and get my car back today so we will see how I like it.

I'm currently using a prostreet 12lb chromoly flywheel. It looks just like the ACT streetlite, but it was quite a bit less expensive. I have had it for about a year without any issues.

I have been driving my lude with the ACT streetlite 12lb wheel for a few days. First impression, maybe I should have gone with the ACT 8lb. I say that because the engine does spin up faster(I also removed the ps pump) but it is not a BIG difference. Maybe the 8lb would be a BIG difference. I was torn over the ACT vs Fidanza but the full chomoly plate should not warp as easily as the aluminum plate with steel wear face. That is what I think and why I went with the ACT. I also installed an Exedy stg1 clutch. I think it will be just fine for now but do plan on putting the lighter ACT flywheel in on the next clutch change. Wj
