I'm pretty sure you'd need the pressure plate too. I have a Type S flywheel, and an ACT clutch and pressure plate for the Type S. Everything else you won't need to replace from what I recall.

I'll let him weigh in on that one, but I believe we only replaced the flywheel, cutch, and pressure plate.

If you are planning to use a Type-S clutch, you will need the clutch mounting hardware for the Type-S. You should use a Type-S release bearing as well. Pick up an accord pilot bushing as well and have it installed with the new clutch. I would also recommend the Type-S flywheel mounting bolts since they are a touch longer than the Accord's bolts. Not that it's going to be a hell of a difference, I just prefer to use all new parts when I'm doing work in that area. As far as knowing if the release bearing is different, I don't know but you could cross reference the part numbers. If they are indeed different, use the Type-S part. All of these parts are conveniently available from your local Acura dealer, but they will most likely not be in stock, so order them a few days before you expect to swap.
What clutch are you going to be using? Stock?

Hey guys im looking into buying a new clutch and flywheel. I have 130k on my 03 and I just want to have everything I need for when the clutch goes. But my question is what type of flywheel I should use. Act lists two the 11.4 streetlite and the 8.4 prolite and exedy has one but does not give a specific weight. Which one would you guys suggest for DD and some track time? Plus im also planning on going with the ACT Heavy Duty pressure plate and modified disc for the rsx-s. Thats probably the best route right?

I wouldn't do that for a few reasons. The lightweight flywheels you mentioned are going to be too light for a DD. I'd consider a different clutch also. I've read about a lot of problems with the ACT heavy duty pressure plates and the geometry being off, causing problems with clutch master cylinders. I've already replaced mine 3 times with my ACT clutch.

So what would you suggest? and why would the lightweight flywheels even the 11.4 lb flywheel be to light? Im not arguing just trying to understand. Btw thank you for your input.

I've heard that the competition clutches are pretty good, but still have no experience with them. I am only telling you what I've experienced with my ACT clutch. With a flywheel that's too light, you'll have to rev higher to engage the clutch without stalling. Of course, you want to reduce weight, but if you reduce too much weight, you'll have a hard time starting from a stop. If you want a lighter flywheel, go with a RSX Type S flywheel. It's 14 lbs, compared to the 22.5 lbs of the stock K24 flywheel. It's light enough to make a difference, but not too light to cause problems.

Tim is correct. Having a light flywheel is great, but having one that is too light causes as much grief as having one that is too heavy..it impacts daily driving. Having a lighter flywheel will make your clutch more touchy when it comes to 1st gear starts..you're going to get tired of babying the clutch as much as you will need to. The RSX-S OE flywheel is 14.5lbs which will be significantly lighter than your 20.5lb stock flywheel. This flywheel (being an OE replacement) will offer you the best compromise in stock reliability and performance. It's also easier on the wallet. As you drop the pounds, you're going to rapidly increase in price since the materials change and the manufacturing process gets more in-depth. I personally recommend the Type-S flywheel since I use it (and because I work for an Acura dealer). When it comes to reliability, 9-times out of 10, OE trumps aftermarket.

Thank you both very much for your input, that definitly just saved me money and alot of aggravation as for the flywheel. Besides competiton cluches can you guys recommend a good clutch kit? I replaced clutches before but only with OEM components so aftermarket clutches are kind of a new area for me. Thanks
