I just bought a clutch (Centerforce dual friction) and i have been looking for a flywheel for the past hr or so. Why are they so expensive?! Damn i wish i had a civic (not)...Well is it really worth the money? If so i guess ill start saving up
 ...lemme know if any of u have flywheels and really saw 500 dollars worth of improvement....thanks in advance

Light flywheels don't increase whp measurements... It increases engine response in turn "accelerate through the gears" faster. It can hurt interia... but that has to do more with street driveability. Too light, the engine bogs at low engine speeds. It's always a good thing to do... IMO. I'm running Coomer's old JUN flywheel, which is roughly 8-10 pounds total compared to the stock 4AG flywheel weighing in at around 18 pounds. Engine response is VERY noticeable. My cousin is running a 7 pound performance flywheel compared to his stock 12 pound flywheel, and it made a night/day difference in his car (K20A2 powered EP3). IMO, in a 3SGTE... it'll make the car even more difficult to drive because of the massive torque. It's hard enough to make a good launch with a 3SGTE FWD Celica... a light flywheel would make it even more difficult.
