The Exedy part number is LEK-8766SMF. OEM flywheel is $2k+ not including the clutch and cover. Because Lexus flywheel is dual mass and sprung. This Exedy kit comes with sprung clutch and single mass flywheel and cover. I do feel Exedy flywheel is a bit lighter. I expect it will have better rev response. I am waiting for more parts to finish the job. I will update you what I think about the Exedy kit.

hi, I am also new to this forum and have just purchased the same Exedy kit.. about a week and a half wait expected for shipping but I was wondering if you had come to a resolution about the SMF not coming with a ring gear. Were you able to get the OEM one off the DMF? Thanks!

I had machine shop to remove ring gear from old flywheel and fit it to new flywheel. They charged me $70 for it. Good luck to the installation. It wasn't bad. Did it in 2 weekend afternoon with my friend.
