ZSpeed Quiet Disc vs Southbend Quiet Disc vs Z1 Mid weight
I've been trying to do research about clutch+flywheel combos, as I want to go to something a little lighter, but I don't want to compromise the daily drive-ability too much. I'm thinking about one of these three. There's not a lot on this forum about these two options so I figured I'd ask if anybody had any feedback on one of these?
1. South Bend SS Quiet Clutch Kit & Flywheel 350Z G35 DE
14.5 lb Aluminum flywheel - $840
2. ZSpeed Stage 1 Clutch & W/ Flywheel Option Combo
25 lb Ductile Iron flywheel - $649
18 lb ZSP Forged Steel - $749
18 lb Southbend billet steel - $849
3. Z1 350Z / G35 VQ35DE Clutch & Flywheel Combo w/ mild performance clutch
21 lb Solid 4140 Forged Steel mid weight flywheel - $598
Is there anything else I should be considering that's either quiet disc or mid weight?
Out of these options, I'm mostly thinking about the ZSP Stage 1 w/18lb forged VS the Z1 mid weight. Since I'm not going FI (at least not for a long time), I'm not sure the high performance ones are worth it.
Also, obviously, I'd like for it to last, so if one of these is known for poor quality that'd be good to know.

Well JWT doesn't do a lightweight + quiet disk option. The 26 pound iron flywheel combo costs $725 but the Z1 21 pound mid weight flywheel combo is like $127 less. I think the reason the JWT is more expensive is because it's rated to like 570HP which is way the **** more than I need lol.

Pretty sure my RMS just started leaking and contaminated my clutch even though I don't see fluid at the bell housing yet. Not sure if I want to throw another Z1 clutch in or try a different brand.
Sort of kicking myself right now for not just doing the RMS when I had it all apart but it wasn't leaking at the time...
