[Supras] Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel

[Rich Peacock]

I don't think you'll find any aftermarket supplier that will cover 
damage.  I had an RPS 4 puck disc come apart and destroy a flywheel, 
disc, PP, throwout bearing combo. 

RPS gave me 50% off a new RPS stage three disc & PP - I paid for the 
labor and new flywheel.

I hate to install something that might cause major damage, and if Spec didn't support you on the bell housing damage, then I imagine this ebay store may be even less helpful! (though I've never dealt with them before).  But since I am only trying to upgrade the FW, would that be less risky than upgrading the PP (I will use a new stock PP)?
