you want a steel fw with a decent amount of weight 13-17lbs. You will most likely get some chatter at idle, but that can be eliminated with rasing the idle to 900-1k rpm

i got my lwfw from southbend and it hardly ever chatters. if the a/c is on and im sitting at a light with the windows down i can hear it, but thats it. mine's supposedly an 11lb fw but i didn't actually weigh it. something in the 15-17lb range would be ideal.

Damn, so what do you guys think? Should I exchange it for a sprung hub? because it's gonna be a pain in the *** to return it...or just keep it and just get a new oem flywheel? This isn't what I planned...

if you get the fw made for that kit, you shouldnt have to much if any chatter. And i think it would be well worth the effort to have a sprug disk
