jun or jwt or act pro light flywheel?
I know this maybe trival, but which would you take? Weight difference between the three? I've read the build quality of the jun is better but its also very hard to locate one as well.

JUN Flywheel - 14.3 lbs
JWT Flywheel - 14 lbs
Act Pro Light flywheel - 13.2lbs
NISMO Flywheel - 21.6lbs
Stillen Flywheel - 14.25 lbs
Stock Flywheel - 30.0lbs
Hope this helps
Later

From my research most people have had the best luck mating a JWT clutch with their flywheel. ACT and JWT seemed to have some negative feedbacks when you try to combine the two brands. BTW I have the JWT clutch/flyhweel and so far my impression of it is pretty good except the soft pedal feel. Good or bad that part is subjective.

IMHO ACT all the way. I am not a fan of flywheels that use a friction plate. Even though I own a JWT flywheel (only thing available at the time). If you don't want the ACT get the Jun flywheel.

LOL MI 35th told me you were a ACT fanboy.
IMO you really can't go wrong with the ACT or JWT because it's a matter of which combo characteristics you like or dislike. I also agree with about that JUN flywheel.

I was playing around with you man, and I know you've been through a couple of sets. MI 35th did tell me to throw all my ACT questions your direction but you never responded back to me. No big deal. Based on what he has told me and your experience with the difference clutches I would still try and hit you up next time.

I have an ACT clutch and was going to get the JWT flywheel but I guess that's not the best idea? I guess I'll go with ACT then...know how much it weighs/best place to order?

I don't have any personal experiences with mismatching but I researched for over 4 months in this forum as well as others and have seem a couple of posts saying the results were not desirable. For some reason a few individuals ran into issues with mating different clutch and flywheel combos. I have heard that JWT flywheels and Nismo clutches works very well but it's not as aggressive because of the lower clamping force of the Nismo.
