A lot of people do. I run a 6.7lb one on my daily driven ITR and its fine. Wish it was lighter actually.

are you replacing clutch and pp along with flywheel? if not, then wait until you have to replace clutch, unless... you do your own work.

I had one of those and loved it. Like somebody else said, though, you really should replace the clutch disk, pressure plate and throw-out bearing while you're at it.

Another thing to look out for, if replacing the clutch, some of these flywheels dont like particular kinds of clutch disk material(ie, ceramic clutch disk material) and could cause excessive chatter or irregular wear on the clutch disk.

I wish I was running the Comptech unit.
The only thing I noticed with a lighter flywheel is that if you aren't paying attention when you are rev matching is that the rev will drop a bit faster. Other than that it'll drive just like or better than stock.
But I still my ACT 8.8lb

Running the Pro-lite with an Action clutch and I love it. Great for rev-matching and little boost in accel, couple others have felt it in my car and I think they agree.

Yep. 'Spools' up faster. (i.e., revs SLIGHTLY faster) Feels nice. Would love to have a lightweight fly on my R.
Must have added at least 16 whp, right Dave?
Chris - looking for his often used 'JOKE' sign.

Popped it in, adjusted idle, and it drives better than stock.

So you have to slightly adjust your Idle?
I've heard people talk about a flywheel may bog you a little or even cause you to grind when you crank the car up?
I'm interested in getting a LW Flywheel once I get a 4.9Final to go in w/ the install.
so need to choose 1.Comptech probbaly.May have Acura do it? Not sure?
Will it wear out a clutch a tad faster thne a normal FW,.granted if you rev match and not do ALOT of heavy downshifting?

Oh yea. Damn.
What's this idle thing? Never heard of that. NO issues with splitime's idle I don't think....

We all know James is a perfectionist.
I have a lightweight fw in my Lude, and the idle seemed to drop a couple hundred rpm..never bothered me though.

Re: light weight flywheel question???? (DsR)
The 6.75lbs flywheel is butter! I have it with an Action Kevlar 1KS clutch. The setup is insane...feels the EXACT same as stock, except it bites a little better. Totally 100% drivable in the worst DC traffic imaginable.
GO GET ONE WOOHOO!
As for the idle. I confess, I didn't plug in the IACV at first and tried to "adjust" my 2000rpm idle. In hindsight you probably don't even have to adjust idle, but I did...
You see that shiny ring around my stock Pressure Plate? That's from the throw-out bearing. I'm a "mad clutcher" .. and the Action with Comptech is an amazing setup. Highly recommended!

You said it! Thats what I'm going for.STOCK Type Feel,..with a tad more bite.something I can handle in traffic as well as Hard Driving. I will Look into the Action Kevlar clutch,...any others out there that are STock type Frrl taht are Good w/ a decent price?
I always had problems w/ the Damn throw-out bearing noise
Sorry that was a slight change of subject!
So maybe I need to head towards:
1-Competch Flywheel/TODA,.etc
2-JDM Final
3 Action Clutch and/or Stock type Clutchw/ some bite>
