turbo 8 with light weight flywheel advice?

hi there,
i just need some advice here. i have turbo rx8, and it's time for me to change the clutch, and do you guys think i should change teh flywheel too?
if i should, what brand should i choose? my opinion is ACT streetlite. ACT prolite is too light, or othere flywheel?
does anybody have lightweight flywheel with turbo set up?
thank you guys, i just need some advice here

Hate to repeat it but, yes I bought a complete stage 2+ from BHR 'Charles" and I love it! I have the Spec product which I prefer because I had a simular unit in my
S2k. I don't know how much power you are pushing but ask him for a kit that handles more than what you have just in case. What kit did you get and I bet that Charles can offer things to make it better.

^ that doesn't make much sense????

I'm sure your an educated man so i'll be blunt about this JUST GO WITH BHR POINT BLANK AND PERIOD.

IMHO there is no other options when it comes to flywheels and clutches. And I have no problem at all with driving around on his light weight fly not sure where everyone gets the idea that light flys make it hard to get around.

P.S. since you need a new clutch i'll bet you need and new pedal

I have the BHR clutch flywheel combo and absolutely love it! The set contains a stage x clutch (I went with 1) from SPEC, a lightweight flywheel (8.98 lbs), and counterweight (both from ACT).

I love it! It feels great and has a noticeable improvement on acceleration.

I DD my car almost 60 miles a day and I have never had a problem with it, nor have I noticed any inconveniences from it.

Even stronger than the already strong bearing that comes with his kit. I am planning on getting one for summer.

It actually feels kind of torquier than it used to. It puts power to the ground nicely so you can feel it, so maybe that's the toquey feeling.
