Mine dropped a tenth from my average times. Nothing great. Better for roadracing/auto-x. Makes heel/toe really easy.

Great mod.

you'll notice that acceleration and deccelaration will increase in rapidness...this will be great when you're trying to haul-***, it definetly changes the responsiveness the car; if you're gonna do this you should consider your current clutch setup...after being in my mates car and seeing the before-after effect i will definetly get this mod once my engine is ready

The motor does really seem to scream through the gears w/ the lightweight fly. It is quite noticeable.

I would only do this mod if I were installing a new clutch at the same time. That kind of labor twice is a bit extreme.

I have one on my civic with the stock clutch. Accelerates fast but I think with a aftermarket clutch I would get more out of it. Get both at the same time.

Well it all depends on how much power you have and what you use your car for. I think Clutchmasters clutch with a spoon flywheel is a good combo.

Flywheel =

I have a Clutchmasters Stage IV w/ the 7.5lb flywheel. I have a Type R swap and I love them both. And the Stage IV is very streetable. Quite light compared to what some may think, but grabs hard!
