1) Subjective. Some are too light, mess up drivability. Chromolly is durable. Aluminum is lighter.

2) You get what you pay for.

3) Drop the tranny, usually $300-$500 or DIY.

4) Yes.

You should check with your dealership to make sure :

1) They are an authorized Mazda Speed dealership, and will do install.

2) Ask them if you buy the flywheel somewhere else will they install it. You can probably
save $100 if you go through other places to get your flywheel, but many dealerships
won't do the install unless you buy it from them.
