I am thinking of using a lightened flywheel and wondering what others experience. I did a search and all seems to be older, Also the stage 2 clutch kit. I have a 2.0 built to 2.4 with about 150 hp and will be mostly street use,, but I like power. Thanks

I'm sure others will disagree, but I had a lightened flywheel in my 2002 Golf GTI that the clutch shop talked me into. I hated every last minute of it. The whole idea is apparently to keep the revs sustained during the brief moment of gear changes, which I'm sure is great on the track where the RPMs are always high. But on the street it was really irritating. I lived with it for about six months until I had the money to swap the flywheel out for a stock one. Much more drivable. I'm guessing this is why virtually every street car comes equipped with a "heavy" flywheel.
