Default lightwieght flywheel feedback

pretty straight forward, if you have one or have had one, what's it like?? the good, the bad...the works

before someone says it - search is doing what it does best, ergo the redundant post

all good for lightweight flywheel + clutch stuff. Makes the engine feel more responsive.

The engine will definitely feel more responsive once the clutch is engaged, but it is a bit harder to get the car started from a full stop. Nothing major, just takes getting used to. I have driven a lightweight clutch/flywheel setup daily, and it was no issue, even in the snow.

God Awfully annoying.

Just remeber everyone's tolerance for bullshit will vary. I got a good friend who has no problem driving a car with out a radio and general does things that would make the average driver pull their hair out. But then with him, he refuses to drive a pro-shifted car on the street.

Hence everyone is different.

i have one mated to my SPEC 4 solid disk clutch.

it is a bit more difficult to pull out from a stop, or to ease around feathering the clutch (parking lot, traffic or reversing) but that is also part of the clutch setup.

i seemed to pick up a little vibration from the setup, but i also have poly motor, trans, and most suspension bushings...so i feel everything.

engine is much more responsive that's for sure.
