I'm doing something major this summer, not sure what. I'm thinking lightweight flywheel and M3 clutch and a LSD. But......If I put in a lightweight flywheel, should I use a 3.45 LSD or go with the 3.73 LSD?

My car only has 40K miles, so replacing clutch now seems like a waste.

I'm not sure what combination of flywheel and diff is best. Would prefer to keep RPM's down while cruising.

The car still idles fine, but you can hear the flywheel rattle if you are outside the car. You can also hear the flwheel if you accelerate then deccelerate. I think it was money well spent because I had to get a new clutch anyway so why not get the flywheel. I think it made the car faster, and it revs like crazy. I also have the 3.45 LSD it works nice.
