Unhappy

I am thinking of picking up the 9.5 # flywheel within the next couple of weeks. I was wondering how much it effects the day to day driving. My car is my daily driver, so I don't want to make a $400 mistake. Also, have you had any problems with it? Was it worth the $?? Thank you.

I drove a FD with a 8.5# and it felt sooo much better than stock, it's just a little weird at first because of the slipping but you'll get use to it in a few days.

DO NOT GET IT,I tell you do not........



I got mine and it sucks,even when my car was stock and I had the 9.5 lb flywheel the rpms would drop so fast you cant really gain rpm/boost back......Keep the stock flywheel,it has better momentum !

I put it on my friend's 91 coupe, and he likes it alot. I have it on my convertible, and it works well.
