Default Are there 11-12 lb flywheels?

Does anyone know if anyone makes them around that weight? I don't want to go too light so I think around that weight will make quite enough difference. If there isn't a manufacturer, I guess I will just get an itr flywheel and lighten it... TIA

Just buy a Spoon or TOda they are around 9lbs. and are a great investment. Type-R FW are like 15lbs. Never heard anybody have problems with TOda or Spoon FW.

Just get a Fidanza or something super light. Lighter is better, the whole driveability thing is a myth.

it does take getting used to, but after that it's piece of cake.

I had my stock one lightened to 12lbs. It is still too much weight. I would recommend a 9lbs Aluminum flywheel.

Light is gooood

My fw is 8.5 pounds. When I first got it there was some adjustment. I have heavy 17's, and I noticed an immediate difference.

After driving my new 7lb Fidanza for a few months, I agree that driveability is not an issue. But read these threads that contain information about the various effects of light f/w.

Yeah, I have the 7.5 lb Clutchmaster flywheel and it is 100% streetable. It's even smoother than stock. I didn't feel a huge difference with 7.5 lbs, so 11-12 lbs you might not even notice. Get the 7.5 lb, trust me you'll like it. Totally streetable on a daily driven vehicle.
