Get an aftermarket chromoly flywheel like ACT, Jun, Toda, etc.. They don't have the same warping problems that the alum ones do. The steel friction face of the alum ones does a poor job of transferring heat to the rest of the flywheel supposedly, which is why there is so many uneven heating and warping problems. Chromo flywheels don't have this problem, and are supposedly stronger too.. I'm pretty impressed with the price and quality of the ACT Streetlite and Prolite flywheels, they look like about the best value on the market that I've seen so far. I've been researching this for the WRX recently...
