Has anyone purchased an aftermarket flywheel or lightened theirs? Just wondering if you had any problems.... Also how about a single plate clutch sys...

if you lighten the flywheel a little bit,you won't notice the difference !if you take off a lot you'll hate it ! for me lightend flywheels are for track use only.
light flywheels are difficult in traffic,your car will die on you the whole time.but it revs like a motorcycle

We dropped close to 11 pounds from the front flywheels (44% or so) and 1.5 pounds from the back flywheels (about 16%) - 9 down to 7.5 pounds...
Race clutches are supposed to be "not too grabby" - We'll see...
Andrew Garcia in Houston did the work for us on the rear units. He then balanced that "top" looking clutch unit as a whole.
Dawie's machine shop in SA did the fronts and balanced them for us with the new internal engine parts....
Drive shafts are being balanced as separate units.
