Billett steel or forged steel flywheel?
So I think my clutch took a shit on me and I am going to go ahead and replace the flywheel since I have already had it turned twice. Which one of these do you guys recommend?

I'd go with the Billet.
Is this the same issue you've been having? Didn't you just swap the clutch?

Ah, gotcha.
Personally....my reasoning...the forged steel one isn't in stock.

The forged steel will be heavier than the billet.

The way I understand it, forged parts are pressed and require just a little machining, so once the dies and presses are set up, they can make a lot more for less money. Billet parts are cut from a solid chunk of steel and are fully machined so it takes longer, and they can charge more.
Aside from that, it depends a lot on what kind of steel is used, and what the properties are... If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.
