Aftermarket OEM. Thrash on mine for drifting & it holds up fine. You shouldn't have to replace the flywheel.

I can get Exedy, ACT and a number of others. I would go with the Exedy or one of ACTs milder disks.
I would highly suggest getting your FW measured and cut. If it's still in spec then it will be fine unless you really want to go with a lightweight FW.

Call local machine shops for the FW.
Give me year, model and trim of your car and I'll get you a price.

ive had the 8lb and the 10lb flywheel Toda

they both are perfectly fine on freeway.. the only real issue is your rpms will drop faster, its all on preference.. once ur in gear there is no issue. its the shifting and response that the flywheel is gonna give you..

I see, even I don't replace the flywheel do I still need to measure it?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/F1-STAGE-3-CLUTCH-KIT-RACING-FLYWHEEL-1985-87-TOYOTA-COROLLA-GTS-AE86-1-6L-4AGE-/151045467129?hash=item232b02ebf9&item=151045467129&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr

I got this kit, been running it for almost a year, I broke it in nice and slow 1000miles, she grabs hard and engine revs nicely with the 10lb flywheel.I have had zero issues with this "ebay" clutch/flywheel. Clutch plate that came with the kit is an Exedy anyway. Flywheel quality looked good to me, and had no issues installing it.

Im only in it for $300, for the price of a Toda I could grab a blacktop lol.

I hadn't thought about it from that perspective.
It must be really hard on everyone. Someone actually tried to start a business offering parts and services to a small community knowing that there wouldn't be big money in it. Someone who tries to give extremely competitive prices and is even willing to admit when someone can get a better deal somewhere else.
I'm very sorry for the torture this has brought upon you.
If it makes you feel any better, at the rate I am loosing money trying to support the 4AGE/AW11/AE86 comunity, you probably won't have to put up with me too much longer.
