i am about to replace my clutch. i am wondering if i should go with an aftermarket flywheel ie billet steel or aluminum, or go with a stocker. i have an aluminum driveshaft, and have heard not to go with a aluminum flywheel for a DD due to vibrations? can anyone confirm this?
what should i go with for my bruh? it only gets driven 2-3 days a week in nice weather.

I never had an issue running an aluminum flywheel on a daily.

Vibration problems? Not if you are using the correct parts. Terminator Cobras came with aluminum flywheels and driveshafts straight from Ford.

Do the flywheel an driveshaft. You'll be fine.
