Lightweight flywheel if you like super loud idle chatter. Otherwise get the steel and have less idle chatter.

I don't necessarily mind the chatter cause I got loud exhaust but is there a big difference for 19 steel to 9 aluminum. Does it make that much of a difference in, revs faster and acceleration?

Is it ok for your daily driver to sound like a helicopter at idle with the clutch out?

x2...i had fx350 with single mass flywheel probably was like 18lbs if i remember...crap was loud and unbearable...and everyone questions if there is something wrong with your car. 9lb would be pretty crappy to drive daily especially if u live in a big city.

Unless you are building a racecar there isn't a real compelling reason to go with an aluminum flywheel. If you are gonna get an aluminum flywheel then you'd be better off getting a multi plate clutch.
