I have just had one fitted on mine, and i think it is the best mod i've done, really has made a significant difference

i do a lot of engine braking and hear if lightened flywheel the engine braking is dramatically decreased and also more likely to stall-at least till you get used to it.api seem to sell a lot of clutches and on other threads they seem to recommend normal flywheel.i would love to try one to see pros vs cons

Yes engine braking is not as pronounced but the throttle response and launches are amazing. I adjusted to the new set up in 45 minutes with no problems and 1 stall

Where are you based, can have an appreciation of mine if you want
