Interesting about that flywheel David. The flywheel in your pic is different to the one thats fitted to the Jap STI7 near me. The one on the engine I have seen has raised sections around the outer edge onto which the pressure plate bolts. It is not flat, as in older cars.
Id draw a pic to explain, but you find my drawings so amusing :O best not to make them public.

The flywheel I seen, is not sprung, it is a solid cast flywheel.
The ones you are referring to are the dual mass flwyheels as fitted to Toyota Supra twin turbos. Quite strange actually. I also hear from a friend that works in a subaru dealer, that a few have been replaced under warranty on some new legacy's.
It is actually 2 seperate bits, which can rotate a certain amount, and they are joined in some way so that the motion is damped/sprung. There is a write up on the Supra website about them, and apparently a lot of trucks use em. The clutch plate is then a solid unsprung item.
Its in here somewhere, but also some other good stuff
Supra website
or just here for the dual mass flywheel
