Default Yes...probably wouldn't do it again, UNLESS it is a dedicated track car.

Just for shifting purposes. For street, save the money and use it towards something else.

Default You mean "Bueller", Steve ;)

I don't think it makes a real difference. Honestly, if something Mike sells has a problem he cancels it like a stamp.

I run the OE PP, resurfaced and balanced by VAST. I think this is the best for a daily driver.

My first choice would be the Sachs unit avantS4 used, but it's VERY VERY expensive :/

Default in fairness and full disclosure I only have 1,000 easy miles on my RS4 setup with this LWFW

I cannot comment on longevity or performance under high hp applications...yet

No. Quattro, inertia, torque and drivability.

Default I went with UNORTHODOX RACING's Flywheel....

I was reluctant at first, I kept hearing love hate opinions on the lightweight flywheel. I decided to jump on it and I love it...chatter is not bad at all and its only below around 1800rpm under high load say if you're lugging it up a hill at 1200rpm in 2nd or 3rd....which you shouldn't be doing anyways. Revs much quicker than stock and for fast driving around the twisty stuff, its just awesome. Also...I don't have a problem launching easy or hard off the line. It takes a couple hours to get totally used to but then its like 2nd nature.
