stock LE5 flywheel weight?
well i'm going to be adding a lightweight flywheel (among other things) this summer and i can't seem to find the weight of the stock flywheel for my 2.4l anywhere. I wanna know how heavy it is so I can get some kind of idea of what daily driving will be like with the lighter flywheel.
Also, I've been considering the spec lightweight flywheel for the 2.4's. Can't find anything on the weight of their flywheels either. I've heard 10 to 12lbs is a good weight for daily driving. Anyway, if any of you guys know something about this I'd appreciate the help as this is my first experience with flywheels.

I'd be wary of lightened flywheel. Just did. Unscientific pol. Only one person recommended it. He was running great times in quartet mile(huckernage) and he just blew tranny. Don't know if related but just some info
about 9 lbs

Lightweight flywheels are only good if there are billet chromoly. Do not get an aluminum flywheel. I haven't found any reputable source that will say an aluminum flywheel is safe.

what about Spec? their flywheels are manufactured to within a .001 uncertainty. that's gotta say something about the quality of their product.
also, what is bad about an aluminum flywheel that makes them unreliable?

Alright the video finally convinced me. Just got off phone with THMotorsports. Exedy lightened flywheel will be there were for my install. Now I'm really excited. Hopefully I can find someone to give me a trifecta tune at CED meet in June.
