How many of you are running a LWFW and like them?
I hear pros and cons about them, what are the pros and what are the cons... are they worth it if I have to do a clutch? Whats the call?

If i were to do it again, i would still do lwfw only if it is the proper clutch set up!
in my case Wicked spec stage 4 set up with lwfw is very very easy to drive, next to none vibration upon take off and there is no exception on chattering if you are in high gear under load at low rpm but it didnt bother me much.

Threads like these worry me. Opinions are going to vary based on the owner's threshold
for noise, effort, convenience, etc. Not everyone will have the same thresholds as you. You're much better off auditioning one in person than taking advice on these subjective issues online.

Like it very much, yes. Love it, no. I have the ECS unit. There is some "rasp" (IMHO that's a more
accurate description than "chatter") at low speed, higher gear situations, which can be annoying. However I've simply trained myself to maintain higher rpms than with the stock flywheel to minimize it (ie shift into 2nd in a slow speed corner or carry more speed in 3rd). I installed the LWFW for the rev-matching capabilities, and it makes the car more involving to drive. I'd do it again.
