Hey all, I need to do my rear main seal so a new flywheel and clutch will be in order as well. I would like to convert from the DMF to a SMF setup. My question is that you can get both steel and aluminum SMF. Aluminum is the lightest, but saved for racing applications mostly? Due to more gear chatter? Would it be best to go with the steel for a street car? Whats your personal experiences in this area?

Street drive only? I have been happy with my ClutchMasters steel flywheel with FX100 clutch pack.

Whichever option you choose, make sure it has the timing hole on the back side for any possible future timing chain servicing.

 

Hey Nik,
Yes I got it for a fun daily to drive, will be street with bolt on mods, stage 2. I assume the Clutchmasters flywheel has the timing hole? Thanks for your input.
Also, did you go with steel or aluminum flywheel?

 

Yes, the ClutchMasters flywheels have the timing pin hole.

I wanted a streetable set up, so that my wife could jump in the car and not have a hard time getting off. So I went with the steel flywheel and FX100 clutch pack. The FX100 is their OEM+ disc, and has a very OEM feel to it. It also allows a bit more slip during take off. The steel flywheel is very close to the OEM flywheel for weight. If I never knew my car had an aftermarket clutch, I would never guess it wasn't OEM. AND, it has held up for the past 60k+ miles on my stage 2 tune, and still holds strong.

 

I ended up getting the same as you, FX100 kit with steel flywheel. It says its 24lbs, stock is 32? I'm hoping I will be able to tell a difference.

 

I never weighed the two flywheels, but I didn't notice a difference in weight. I think you'll like it still.
