One thing to concider is the weight of the flywheel. If it is too light then it will make the car rougher and shaky at idle. What are the weights of these ones?

You could just get a machine shop to lighten your stock flywheel a few lbs.

True but in a 4th gen you cannot get it even close to the weight of the aftermarket ones by shaving it. I has something to do with the design how the back plate or something like that is. Plus aftermarket ones are alluminum.

Isn't Fidanza about 5 lbs? That would make it hard to engage, esp. if you are S/C!

See, I think it is too light for in general even without the SC. Mainly I think that at idle you could feel the shakyness it causes and that would be bad. I think the stillen one is around lets say 11 or 12 pounds off the top of my head. That seems much more streetable.

12 lbs sounds like a good weight. What is stock? 18 or 19 lbs?
