I ran a competition clutch flywheel for 4 years and then went to an ACT. I really liked it since the first.

What are your plans with the car? AutoX or daily driver?

Personally, i like the upgrade, it was a big improvemnt over stock with NA motor. Now with the swap the car just feels amazing in low torque scenarios.

Also, i have never heard a loud flywheel. They sound stock and clutch feel is like oem.

Like most mods, it's probably going to be a matter of personal taste. Maybe someone with a trick clutch will let you take their car around a parking lot. :lol:

I have the Giken on my EVO, and it makes a rather large difference. Revs come up much faster.

it'll seem like your getting more power but in reality it just makes it rev faster. don't get me wrong its a great upgrade if your already in there doing a clutch

you will probably get some clutch chatter with a lightened FW and beefed up clutch plate.

Once I put one in one of my old cars years ago, I swore that it would be the first mod I did to every car from there on. I love the accel and decel advantages!

You can come for a ride in my car and hear the clutch chatter if youd like along with the whining of the new gears.

I did the spec light weight flywheel and spec stage 1 clutch in my 04 wrx with ra gears and hated that flywheel for daily driving.

I have an exedy light weight on my car. I love it, except for the decel noise. Loud as hell! But then, even with the stock one, it was kinda loud.
