Pros:
|
more power, shifting more fun when heel toeing
|
|
Cons:
|
drivablity
|
|
takes about a hour to get used to it and you should have not to start at more than 1500 rpm for a smooth take off
but takes the better part of two days to put in

I had the infamous stock clutch shudder so I replaced it with an Exedy organic clutch and got this flywheel at the same time.
My wife commented on how the car felt a hell of lot better and was asking about other mods done at the same time. Drivebility not an issue from our point of view.

Fair Price, Great Performance, No Shudder
|
|
Cons:

None

Installed in a 2000 RS along with a Exedy Sort Clutch. The flywheel weighs just under 13 lbs. and after installaion accelerated and deccelerats, quicker and smoother. No brainer.

I put this flywheel in with an ACT clutch and it totally eliminated the shudder and made the reving of the engine faster.

Pros:
|
Revs much faster, smoother rev matches on downshifts. No jerkiness when you haven't rev matched- the clutch doesn't have to fight the engine to match speeds.
|
|
Cons:
|
harder to launch from stop, but that just takes familiarity
|
|
My favorite drivetrain mod so far. Standing starts are more difficult (especially when you aren't going for a quick start) but shifting is much easier. Rev matching is easier, but less necessary as the engine is more willing to match spees with the input shaft when you aren't exactly rev-matched. Also easier to drive smoother.

I think everyone should get a lighter flywheel. Launching is a bit harder but not bad. I can still drive in stop and go traffic fine. The car just revs quicker and is a lot more fun to drive.

Pros:
|
throttle response better, rev matching easier
|
|
Cons:
|
takes some getting used to
|
|
This is, by far, the most impressive mod I\'ve done. This and the short-shifter have added the most fun to my drive of any mod on my car... I still don\'t have a bigger turbo, though.
Took a little bit to get used to revving a little higher to get the car going, and it takes a bit more clutch slip to make the initial take-off smooth. But after the launch, rev matching is much easier, and throttle response is amazing.
My turbo is currently running really crappy, and with the flywheel, my RPMs in 1st gear still rise almost as well as a stock WRX.
Buy it.

I use my car as a daily driver and there are no problems with this flywheel. I use it with a lightened crank pulley, and my car revs FAST !
I am extremely happy with the outcome of this product.
