Lightweight Steel Flywheels

[misthael]

I'm going to be putting a new Exedy Stage 1 clutch kit and remanufactured starter in my '84 GS soon. The flywheel will be out for resurfacing anyways so I figured I would upgrade to a lightweight steel flywheel instead. So I start looking for lightweight steel flywheels at all the usual places. Mazdatrix, Atkins, ReSpeed, Pineapple Racing, etc. Racing Beat is the only manufacturer carrying any for the 84-85 12As any more and they're $415! I don't remember steel flywheels being so damn expensive. I knew the aluminum ones were high, but aluminum is always high. I coulda sworn I remember them only being a couple hundred dollars. So now my question is "Is it worth it?" The car is a daily driver that sees some autox action. For a car that is purely for fun and not competition is the cost really worth it? Or does anybody have a lightweight steel flywheel sitting around they would sell for alot less than Racing Beat's asking price?
