Price isn't everything. I'd go with the Fidanza wheel from Lethal, if it were me.
Lethal has a very good rep with customer support, not somethng that can be said about LFP.

Plus, when it wears down, you can replace just the friction surface of the flywheel for $54. I'm not sure if you can do that with the cheaper flywheels.

Whats Better A steel Flywheel or an Aluminum. I do mostly Street Driving and do not launch the car much. A few hear and there runs against peeps. I also Have a 4.10 gear. Also the people who bought a new flywheel which company and material did you go with? Thanks for the help guys.
Why not just refurbish(resurface) your stock cobra one, its aluminum and that would be the way to go if youre trying to save money.

We have had great experiences with the SPEC aluminum flywheels. The friction surface is replaceable on them also.

I'll PM you some pricing. :headbang:

Most guys I talked to said It could warp and I wouldnt get all my HP from the stock one and so forth. If im going to install a new clutch why not install a new FW aswell. Im thinking of buying Cobra Jacks I need one ASAP. If I just replace the friction insert it will be as good as a new one?? Doesnt the outer part of the FW wear down? Can someone explain that? Thanks

The only part that wears, other than the occasional ring gear, is the friction surface.
On this flywheel, the friction surface is made to be replaced when needed, so the flywheel is returned to a like new condition.

Im not sure, I see your point if youre getting a new clutch might as well get the FW. I havent heard many problems w resurfaced Fly Wheels. From personal experience aftermarket parts arent always better than stock. If youre gonna get one might as well spend the money and buy a good one like spec or fidanza.
