They are an Original Equipment supplier to Porsche - Obviously the stock car doesn't come with a LWFW so it would still be considered 'after-market' but Porsche does use their products in other applications.

Are you asking who makes the stock, original flywheel that comes in the GT3RS or are you asking what options are there for an aftermarket even lighter weight application? - I believe Luk supplies the originals but I may be wrong. Alex at Sharkwerks could help more than myself for GT3RS applications.

I just had the clutch replaced in my '99 C4 w/ 90K miles. Surprisingly the dealer was the best price of all, indies included. Just the clutch was about $1500 and it was $200 or so more for the RMS. The indie shops quoted me $2K+ and some of them insisted that the engine needed to come out in the C4 to change out the clutch, adding additional labor. It's not so

Where do you live... I'd like to move up there, open a shop and start plucking motors immediately

But seriously, book time on the job is 14.5 hrs for the C4, just as a reference point. Add .7 if you plan on doing the flywheel as well.
