I like mine, and have no complaints at all. (this is a from a non-
engineering standpoint, purely from a driver's perspective) It revs back
down faster, no biggie, and it's NOT easier to stall. It spins up SO fast.
And we got more life out of the clutch on the light flywheel than we did
out of the previous ones on the heavy flywheel, mind you, they weren't
identical clutches so it's not a fair comparison. I'd say don't take too
much off, get it balanced, and enjoy it. I have seen one blow up (on a
Talon), it was not pretty (wrote the car off at about 100 mph), but that
wouldn't apply to our cars anyway, it was a really heavly modified car
that had been drag raced steadily for many years.
I'll probably get the MkI's done next time the clutch is off, I'm a fan of
this mod.
