I have two. One's a billet lightened, that's just out of my STi and the other is a machined standard that came out of the wagon I broke a little while ago. The billet has a little discolouration where the clutch began slipping, haven't weighed it yet but can later. The machined one weighs 6.5Kgs iirc.

Got a 5 paddle clutch too if you want to go a bit more serious.

Haven't a clue about prices. Both drive OK.

How's the idle and driving in traffic at that weight?

driving in traffic if fine, just got to give it a few more reves, but you soon get use to it, and when driving a standard one, it doesnt feel right.

the car does seam like it reves better

idle is ok, a little lower than normal, but nothing to worry about. i have never had it stall from idling to low.

a couple of times come close when reversing etc.

all in all, from what i read about light flywheels, bad stuff etc, i dont know what all the fuss about, as i profer the light weight one now.

p.s i have put mine in new with a ap organic clutch
