    I'm not making this shit up guys, if you actually drag race the fidanza and use the clutch you are going to have issues:

    I used Fidanza's for a few yrs before there was a RPS FW, and if you do allot of drag racing like I do it will warp like a potato chip. At least thy always did on me. Now if you don’t do allot of drag racing were you get it VERY hot thy seem to hold up fine.

    I'm not sure why you wouldn't get the RPS if you really an lightweight flywheel or even the IPS steel one.

    RPS was my second choice, but is making its way towards first, anyone else have info on the RPS?

    last sentence seems to support my opinion.

    As for bolts, I use stock bolts with locktite, impacted on with electric impact, I've never torqued them.

    sure if you don't launch much run whatever you want. Personally I'd rather not have a part that can't handle as much heat as stock.

    Anyways, back to recommendations, i hear the really lightweight chromoly ones are pretty good. Think a couple vendors now sell them.

    The chromoly ones are nice since it is all one type of metal. With the different metals of an aluminum/steel flywheel, you have different heating and cooling times. This can lead to the material warping. I personally have not seen a fidanza flywheel friction surface warp, put it could be possible.
