i may not drive a 300hp powered car, but I would HIGHLY recommend Clutchnet.com. They make beautiful clutches/ flywheels are rather affordable costs and in the world of 200+hp 2nd gen preludes, they have been the ONLY company that holds up! I've used clutchmasters and ACT and have NOT been happy with them. I do like my exedy though... Just sayin, it is worth checking them out

hey thanks for the effort man. sadly there still isnt much market for performance for the tc. i ended up going with the act and fidanza 9lb flywheel. the act i got they claim to be a modified street disc, but its supposed to handle 390torque. most of the high horsepower guys recommended it to me. im actually in the process of putting it in now, oh what fun...

I used to run an ACT 2600 with a light weight flywheel on the Talon. I always had to compensate myself when attempting to walk in a straight line! Always seemed to curve to the right!

Go with the lighter as others have stated. You will noticed improved RPM's and decelaration as well when you let off the gas. If you go on a road course it will take a little more to RPM match (heel/toe) as the decel is much quicker when you put in the clutch.

Good choice. I've run Fidanza aluminum flywheels on multiple vehicles (two Hondas, and a Toyota MR2; might put one in the Evo as well).

A well-made, competitively-priced product from an American company that stands behind their stuff (unlike the JDM chromoly flywheels which can warp fairly easily due to their greatly decreased thermal capacity, doesn't have a replaceable friction surface, and the warranty on it ends as soon as you take the part out of its JDM cardboard box).

i finally got everything back together, but sadly i am at 40/300 mile recommended break in period lol everything feels solid though. and those of you who said it will require more throttle to get started were right, i feel like im learning to drive stick again for the first time ha. so far i really like it though and cant wait till i can really test them out
