Next time you need to get something resurfaced I'd recommend Mid-5 Auto at 5M and Telegraph. They have a good machine shop with quick turnaround. They have done several things for me on my Audi. Flywheels are $50 and 1 day turnaround.

The Spec clutch has been great. The car puts down a reliable 500 RWHP. The SPec 3+ is supposedly the streetable version of the clutch, but it's borderline. As Jim mentioned, it's a tradeoff. It takes FOREVER to break-in, but then can be smooth. Part of it is certainly getting used to it. It's not quite an ON/OFF switch, but there isn't a whole lot of range to feather it.
True. All the SPEC clutches are street-able (I drive a GT1 clutch pack with aluminum flywheel on my street car so it has the identical feel as the one on my race car). It does take a little getting used to, but the GT3 clutch is very definitely street-able. Take a little while to bed it in because the friction material SPEC uses is very good (if it bedded quickly it would also wear out quickly), and be willing to re-train yourself. Remember: it IS a performance clutch, and it DOES act like it.

The aluminum flywheel stores less energy, so you will need more throttle when coming away from stop signs and such. But, because they store less energy, you will also find the engine accelerates quicker. That's the point of a lighter flywheel.
