Send a PM to Charles R Hill
depending on what you are looking for out of your car, he can help make a great recommendation.

You should definitely look into his (BHR) flywheels. I believe it's the lightest flywheel out there.

Get Stock, or Stage 1.

For Flywheel, get the Spec from CRH.

BHR spec clutch with BHR flywheel, what do u all think about this combo?

EDIT:
I just never heard of BHR. I know there are other reputable companies such as exedy or ACT. I want the best for my car.

Charles/BHR is a good person for clutch recommendations and will pick out a setup based on your needs.
The Exedy Stage1 is a good pick also, that's what I have.
Don't go higher than stage1 if this is your daily driver.

BHR is the way to go.

Trust me....I've been shopping for flywheels as well for this car. The BHR clutch/flywheel uses a custom SPEC clutch and flywheel setup that's built to BHR's specifications. It's honestly a really well designed kit and replaces some of the other kits' downfalls with better quality pieces.

I'm just trying to save you a bunch of time on the research. I've researched all of them....trust me....whether it's the Fidanza units, SPEC units, Mazdaspeed units, ACT units, Bully units, Comp Clutch units, Centerforce units, and more.

The BHR came out of top and it's good to know that you're buying from a vendor that specializes in RX8 parts.....not RX7, not RX3, not a Cosmo.
