F1 Racing flywheel

I just bought an Exedy cutch and need to buy a Flywheel.

I was trying to search on the forum about the F1 Racing Flywheels and didn't get much. What is your opinions on this flywheel? I don't race my car at all. Just a daily driving on it. Is there a big difference between the ACT Flywheel and the F1 Racing for someone like me?

$235 for the F1 Racing
$399 for the ACT flywheel

This seems like a major difference in price. Does anyone have any opinions....

Please help! Thanks!!

Well I bought the car with 60k Miles on it and now it has almost 90k miles on it now. I bought the car from a small dealership. I don't know what the car went through before I bought it so I figured mind as well buy as much new replacements for the car as I can so I have less worries in the future.

I decided to buy the F1 Racing Flywheel. I will let you know how it feels after its installed. I am installing it this weekend I am super excited!

Honestly tweetie, best way 2 go, especially if u got a stage 1, is to install the clutch with the OEM flywheel. I had a stage 1 with the OEM flywheel, and it was awesome! Not long ago i got a stage 2 and installed it with an F1-Racing light weight flywheel, i was about to cry when i drove it after. It sucked aloooot! So what i did was put the OEM flywheel back again with the new stage 2 clutch. After that, it was much better back to normal, but a lil ruffer which i like. You might have some vibs on 1st gear and reverse. So if you want my opinion install your clutch with the OEM flywheel

Lol dont mean to put ur hopes down, but i paid the same price for the flywheel and ended up taking it out and paying for the OEM flywheel installation again. I mean the F1 has a good price unlike the Exedy flywheel or other ones so i fell for it to lol but obviously the price difference was for a reason.
Anyway plz let me know what the outcome was

Thanks everyone! I found out why my car was super loud. It looks like the exhaust was disconnected near the cap and that's why it was super loud. its fixed now and everything is fine with the F1 Flywheel. =)
