well my laser needs a new clutch. im pretty sure my flywheel is shot so im replacing that to. now what do you guys think is a better flyhweel?

fidanza 7.9lbs for 190 shipped off ebay.

act xact 12lbs for 225 off ebay

7bolt

what do you guys think is a better flywheel?
 
The xact is just heavy enough for street driving. I need to shift fast but its not rediculous and I don't have to blip the throttle between shifts. It requires concentration to get the car rolling (with a 2600) and no one else can drive it, but I've gotten used to it.
I've heard the fidanzas are overkill for the street and driving a car with an overly light flywheel is completely miserable and very frustrating.

FYI, at my local shop they're both the same price.
 
im gonna be using it with an act 2100. daily driven car.
atfirst i was leaning twards the fidanza cause it was lighter and cheaper. but now i think the act would be abetter choice for me.

i accauly got a talon that im parting out right now. came with a jun flywheel. when i drove it it felt no different then my laser (flywheel-wise) thats comparing jun to stock 7bolt awd.

any other opinions? the more the merrier.
 
The difference is noticeable with the Fidanza but once you get used to it the car will drive as smoothly as it did with the stock wheel.

Just make sure to check all of your tolerances. Never assume.
