No will be fine without a remap, lower mass flywheel will just take less to get moving

and will judder at low speeds / cause you to stall a bit until you get used to it. You have to positively drive them everywhere due to the lower inertia - which is what helps it rev quicker.

if you car is a 5 speed then anything under 6kg will judder like a bugger. My brother has a 6.1kg ACT flywheel and it judders on take off every time. you will need to giv more revs to smooth things out

Im going for another Exedy Pink Clutch with skimmed OEM flywheel in my 5 speed this time, excellent combo for everyday & odd trackday driving. Had it on my JDM 6 speed & worked a treat.

I have a 5spd 6kg LWFW on a pink exedy and it's fine Mine is a 95 STi with fairly short ratios which may make a difference.
