Do not get your stock flywheel re-surfaced, the material is too soft. The best you can do to the stock flywheel is just scuff it up really good if it doesn't have too many heat spots.

so everyone getting their flywheel resurfaced is messing it up? I think im going to be replacing my clutch soon, so i should buy a new flywheel? they're a lil pricey and i would love to avoid it if i could. how long does the stock flywheel usually last?

(sorry for the thread jack)

Yes, anyone re-surfacing their flywheel is risking taking off years of life on their clutch.
Since the flywheel is made of a soft material (same as our brake discs) if you machine it, it will cause excessive heat to the clutch, glazing the flywheel and smoking the clutch years before it is supposed to go out. The best you can do is just scuff it up with a grinder wheel if it doesn't have too many hot spots on it indicating warpage.
I just scuffed mine up with 120,000 on it with my southbend stg 2 clutch, it did take longer to break in the clutch than usual, but it works just fine now.

That guy claims that the RS4 flywheel from AWE worked on his 3.0.

That would work really well if it fits correctly.
