Talk to me about clutches

i think it's supposed to be a non-issue with the 20# steel SMFs...

But if going through the effort, why not just get a lighter one?
I don't see the benefit of getting a single mass flywheel and not going as light as possible.

Performance is the only benefit I know of for going with a SMF... is this not the case?

BP aren't you the one that hates light flywheels? Lol
The benefit of going with single mass, be it heavy or light is to get rid of the self adjusting pressure plate and going with the traditional pressure plate and sprung hub on the disk.

well, longevity too - the DMF is a wear item, it has rubber bits in it - mine is wearing out and it has a weird 'springiness' to it. a 5lb weight reduction over the stock DMF in going with the steel SMF is icing on the cake. personally - i've had a car with a 10lb flywheel before, and it's not what i want for the ZHP. 20lb steel SMF sounds perfect.

yep! aside from the $1000 price tag, it's all good.
