Paul,

I had 2 different, custom weight ALUMINUM billet flywheels made, 18lb & 22lb, to cover the spread between the uber-light 13# & the uber-heavy, stock dual mass. Now, energy conservation can be matched to gearing and desired purpose, i.e. street driving, drag, autocross and road course.

Both new flywheels are dimensionally identical to the stock dual mass to preserve the same clutch geometry with the stock, pull-release clutch. Both flywheels can also benefit from the installation of a push-release clutch with the RAM style Hydraulic Release Bearing.
