Default Will A Lightweight Flywheel work with Stage2 Spec?

I had a Fidanza FLywheel installed along with my Stage 3 Carbon Clutch about a week ago. THe car was terribly Shakey and almost impossible to drive. SpeedINC who did the install along with myself didnt have a clue as to what was causing this problem. Ironically, somone on here posted that the Lightweight Flywheels with very grabby clutches can make the car shake Violently. they went into the reason why but I frogot. Anyway, After reading this they put a stock flywheell back in and everything was ok again.
Heres my question,
Im switching my stage 3 out for a stage 2 spec Only because I use this car in traffic and the stage 3 is not worth the hassle for me. If Im going to a Stage 2 Spec Will I be able to use My Fidanza Light Weight Flywheel with this clutch without having the shaking problem? Or should I just stick with the Heavy Stock FLywheel? Kind of confusing I know, But any info at all would be great!

Not sure why your car is so shakey. I had the same flywheel in my car with a Ram pressure plate and 980 dics without any problems. I put the stock flywheel back in because car would almost stall with a 6000rpm dump on ET drags and I only had a little chatter with both flywheels. No more with one than the other.
