Requesting Review: Gruppe-s Lightweight Flywheel

So who has the Gruppe-S lighweight flywheel? and how do you like it? I've heard some people say it feels like not very good quality. Before I shell out $600 for the lighweight flywheel and exedy clutch combo I want to make sure its a good product since I can get the clutch for $469 from WorldOne. TIA

Is it used....
If you're gonna do it, it's best to put all new stuff in there so you know how many miles are on it and that the break in was done right.

No sense putting it in, if you end up taking it right out.

Check these guys out for the ECU

they are expensive and a-holes. I emailed them anyways.

The gruppe-s flywheel though....check out their special on the exedy clutch/gruppe-s flywheel (it $595) and then go look at just the exedy clutch (its also $595)

Matt, seriously, I have heard so many bad things about the GS flywheel, and frankly I have heard just about as many bad things involving the GS mech. I don't mean to drop this but... You get what you pay for.
