Default New rsx flywheel

I'm thinking about switching to a new flywheel. I am wanting one around 10-12 pounds. Is this a good upgrade, or should i look for something else?

i think its a good upgrade and while your at it you should drop in a new clutch and if you have the cash maybe an LSD also from what your saying i think the stock type R flywheel would be best for you

Looking for something to spend your money on, huh? Get a Type-R LSD instead.

Yes because it regains traction and starts to translate the power to the ground.

There's your chance, just be patient and save a few more bucks. You won't regret buying it.

I'm going to tell my brother about it later. Doubt he has money though.

If your car has a heavy *** flywheel stock and you throw a light one on there the acceleration and engine stress difference I've heard is about equivalent to stripping the interior out on the car...

Good mod!

Quick revs sound way more agressive and bad *** too!
