Default Flywheel choice

I've been searching and haven't found any specific comments towards how certain flywheels "feel" during different driving conditions. My question is to those who own or have owned these flywheels and their reactions to its performance.

JWT
ACT Prolite
ACT Streetlite

If you were to decide, which one would you prefer?

I have the ACT Streetlite and it works fine for my daily driver. It is slightly heavier than the JWT and it does not have quite as much of the cement mixer sound at idle. Taking off from a stop requires a bit more slip than the stock flywheel, but rev-matching seems easier. I have no experience with the ACT Prolite, but from what I remember, it is lighter (therefore louder) than the JWT.

I have JWT and love it... it is loud as hell but i can deal... some can't

I have perfect control over that tach making rev matching easier...

Except the 1-2.... dont know if its just me driving agressively but on my 1-2 shift on the street i need to give it a little sec for revs to drop to match my second gear or it will jerk.... but then again its alot more noticable with the 1200Kg of clamping force from the clutch....

thanks for the feedback. I'm not really to concerned with the sound mainly just the performance because it is my dailydriver. Was it difficult to adapt your driving style to the lighter flywheel? (i.e. changing the timing of getting on and off the gas with having a more responsive accelerater)

For me, cause my clutch has been slipping progressively worse and worse since i got my car, it was a whole new car for me...

First 100 miles... i could barely drive it.. it broke in and now im used to it.. I love the Zs torque
