Lightened flywheel/clutch combo recommendations?
 
Am looking to replace the original factory clutch for my 97 SC300. Intrigued in a modest upgraded set with a lighted flywheel and lot for the W58. Any balance issues or pitfalls?

something like

I've got a SPEC stage 2+ clutch and a JUN flywheel on mine. Clutch pedal feel is great, however the flywheel is just a tad too light for daily driving duties, I helped a friend run a similar setup on his car and he found the lightweight flywheel killed the enjoyment of driving the car in traffic.
I live in the suburbs and only drive my car for fun, usually only on weekends in the summer. He lives in the city of Chicago and daily drives his car. His new combo is the performance full-face clutch on an OEM flywheel. He loves that setup now and it should hold his low power NAT setup

I very much agree with what was stated above. If you drive your car on the street more often than at the track you won't care much for a super light aluminum flywheel. I'd stick with a re-surfaced OEM, or use something like a lighter weight steel unit (I've got an Comp Clutch brand steel flywheel that still shaves off a few extra pounds). I then mated that to an ACT Street/Strip full disc clutch and so far have been very pleased.
