what is your opinion of this product?

i dont want a radical difference, but i dont want to have to take my flywheel to get machined when i am changing my clutch. and this seems like a small enough difference not to cause a problem.

Mine weighed in at about 14-15lbs just like vtec said. (more towards the 14lb mark.)

If that's what you're after, the StreetLite will be fine, but my personal choice between the two would be the ProLite.

I doubt you'll notice 2 or so pounds... but I have the prolite and I like it.

You have to understand the concept of lightening the FW. 2 pounds off the FW is Like Lightening the Car by 200 pounds During Acceleration. That's A big Difference. The Stock FW is 6.9kg which is 15 pounds

</TD></TR></TABLE> the ACT Streetlite is fine but the ACT Prolite at 8.8# is what I have been using this year and it is excellent and has caused NONE of the commonly mentioned theoretical downsides.

Do you have a lightweight flywheel?

I do and I can tell you right now that acceleration is not noticibly different at all (at least on my car), in fact, I'd bet it's about identical in my opinion (based on street driving and 1/4). Rev matching is much nicer though.

Also, it depends on where on the flywheel the weight was taken from, you can't just make a baseline claim that 2 lbs = 200 lbs.

So using either argument, I believe you are incorrect.
