Default Flywheel Weight

Whats the lowest best weight for a daily driver? Ive searched already, but all Ive come up with is a bunch of threads talking about the fidanza 7.5lbs flywheel, but that seems to light for comfortable use, correct me if Im wrong though.

There's a lot of personal preference involved. To me, the Fidanza is definitely not too light for daily use. The Fidanza / Clutch Masters is my usual recommendation for a lightweight flywheel because it is very light, has a replaceable friction surface, and is quite inexpensive.

Ive heard with that light of a flywheel, the RPMs drop hella quick when you open the clutch and requires a bit more finessing launching from a stop.

It takes a bit of getting used to, but after that it's not a problem.

if your talkin about daily use and race just get a act 12.5pound flywheel the bad thing about a light flywheel is it takes a lot of rpms to not bog the motor and it drops during shifts a heavy one will just make your tires spin more with more rpms and it would take longer for the rpms to go up but.my guess for daily use.. go with the act 12.5

Do you plan on turboing your car? If so, I wouldn't go less than 10 pounds. If going na, it's really based on preference, but I'd stick closer to 10 either way.

I have an Action Clutch 12lb flywheel and I like it alot, but like what padawan said, there is alot of personal preference. The only time I don't like the 12 pounder is when im taking off from a stop light with the AC on, other than that I love it.

7.5 lbs flywheel+boost=scary experience. just a word of personal opinion.
but really light flywheels on a daily driver (n/a) I think are a lot of fun especialy if you match your lighter flywheel with a short shift to make shifts not so freaky.
