STI Performance Lightweight Flywheel at Carter Subaru Ballard in Seattle

Thanks to its high-strength chromium molybdenum construction, a new STI Lightweight Flywheel, when paired with a performance clutch disk and clutch cover, is a great way to improve the acceleration of your Subaru WRX or WRX STI. A lighter flywheel means less mass must spin and slow down as the engine revs, enabling quicker revs and better acceleration response. Available only for the 2002-2005 Subaru WRX and the 2004-2007 WRX STI.

The Advantages of a Performance Flywheel

When traveling at speed, a heavier flywheel stores more momentum as it rotates, meaning it resists changes in engine speed - ideal for cruising at a consistent highway speed, but the drawback is a slower engine response. Replacing the flywheel with an STI Lightweight Flywheel will improve your vehicle's engine response, so you can take advantage of faster changes in revs and improved acceleration.

How Often should I Change my Flywheel?

A key part of your vehicle's clutch, the flywheel along with the clutch disk and clutch cover are expected to last for the life of the vehicle - or at least the lifetime of the clutch assembly. If you begin to feel your clutch slipping, a worn-out flywheel is often the culprit. A stock flywheel on a performance car such as a Subaru WRX or WRX STI can wear out in 60,000 - 100,000 miles, or faster if you have an aggressive driving style. A lightweight performance replacement flywheel can improve clutch feel as well as increase performance.
