I don't know how to measure the resistance in the dampening springs but the 3.2 springs are stiffer, there is more resistance.

Just to make sure I follow.
The two FW that you are competing are both new?

To answer your question No. I have a brand new LUK 98611401201 (2.7L 5-SPD) OE Flywheel. I'm comparing that to a Lightly Used LUK 98611401206 (3.2 L 6-SPD) purchased from a dismantler. Less than 10K. The surface is just lightly polished enough that you can tell where the clutch disc road, the machine groves are still fully visible.

I've asked before what alternatives I had for my Base car with a 3.6 motor without going to a LWFW to have better C, PP, FW longevity. It looked like I could use a 98611401206 (3.2 L 6-SPD) DMFW, on the 5-SPD as a more suitable option base on the horsepower I output. I believe this is my next step base on the comparison. I have no doubt that it will fit at this point. No, I don't intend to put the used one in my car. Obviously it was more cost effective to buy a used one for a comparison, this way if it didn't fit I'm not discarding a new flywheel or giving it a way for 1/3 what I paid.
