I just installed a pro-lite. I like it. The engine is more free revving. It takes a little getting used to. One thing I noticed is not only does it rev faster but it also decelerates faster. It makes for bumpy shifts when you're moving slow around town till you get the hang of it. At first I found myself letting the rpm's drop too much when engaging the next gear.
It takes slightly more revs when you start off. I also think that I'm idling a little slower, I haven't messed with it cause it's still nice and smooth. IMO it's worth the slight drawbacks to reduce the rotating mass of the clutch assembly and get a quicker revving engine. I love it for rev matching downshifts.

Well I've driven my friends evo 8 with the prolite flywheel and I did notice you have to give it a little more gas to get it going but as far as driving around it seemed fine. My only thing about having such a light flywheel is if it dies off too soon up top. The car already revs very quick because of the short ratio transmission so I'm not too worried about necessarily getting a much quicker rev out of it. So I'm prolly leaning more towards the streetlite flywheel.

Is the IX MR SE flywheel actually the lightest of all CT9 Evos???
I have a JDM IX MR which is equivalent to the USDM IX MR SE and heard that this flywheel is the actually lighter...
Can anyone confirm???
