Single Mass Flywheel Replacement?

Is there a single mass flywheel replacement that works with the OEM clutch and pressure plate? If not, is there a quality aftermarket dual mass flywheel? I “think” I want to replace my clutch with an OEM for drivability, but at the same time, I don’t want to pay $1,000 for a new OEM flywheel...

Thoughts?

I'm pretty sure JMTC's pressure plate is exactly the same as OEM, just painted red. Just a warning with it though, it doesn't have a notch to insert a tool you need for doing the timing chain. So if you ever need to do the timing chain you will need to basically remove the engine to do so.

I have read that about the JMTC flywheels. That point is sort of why I am asking the question... Theirs are the only ones that specifically state they are compatible with he OEM clutch, however.

if you really gotta have the JMTC version, you could always get the missing hole added. Just take the old and new flywheels to a good machine shop and have them add it for you. Cost me a couple hundred to get my old OS Giken (fixed on newer models) machined and re-balanced (two different shops).

I don’t NEED the JMTC flywheel, just curious if there are any other options.

What are are the thoughts about aftermarket dual mass flywheels with an OEM clutch?
