Guys, what is the drawback of a lightweight flywheel??? I've heard some say that it's harder to launch and such... What's the deal with this? Any guys who have one notice any drawbacks?

I can't speak from personal experience. But from what i've heard, the fact that there is less rotational inertia, the quicker the rpm's will fall when shifting. The other complaint is that it sometimes stalls at idle or has a rough idle.

However, the benefit is that the car is also more willing to rev and it makes it easier to rev-match when heel-toeing.

Personally, if I could do my clutch install over, i would have tried a lightweight flywheel...

depends on how light you go. i had a prostreet 10.5lb in my blue evo. it was slightly harder to start on a hill and slightly harder to launch. just slightly though, and by slightly, i mean barely noticeable.

since our stock flywheel is so light anways, there's really not that much of a difference. in difficulty, but a noticeable gain in rev speed and shift speed.

honestly, i liked it alot better because with the clutch, flywheel, and short shifter, i could switch gears as fast as i could make my limbs move.

I already have it, I was just wondering what to expect. I've heard a few guys complaining, that's all. It's going in either way.

Its really not that much different Brian. I swear tho it made me faster! I like the car so much better with the new clutch.

Here is a pretty good deal if anyone is interested in tires. http://www.racepa.com/content/index....;topicseen#new
