ive got like 12k on mine and I have absolutely no complaints, feel is great, the cars response is awesome compared to stock and if you do it yourself you save yourself a good chunk, its pretty easy to do this clutch and flywheel, there are plenty of DIY's for this

Excellent set-up. I'm selling a used JWT FW, if you want to save some coin as well.

The flywheel makes it noisy but it drives real well. Mine has been holding 400 wtq and dozens of quarter mile passes. Even if it goes, the price is right I'll probably get another.

I got a solid plate FW and love it. I'm not sure if anyone else has had the problem or if it's unrelated but soon after I got it the pedal start making odd creaking/squeaking noises. :/

In the market to buy a clutch/flywheel and JWT is in my line of sight. Any current owners care to advise how their clutch/flywheels are holding up?

Love mine. 15k on mine. The feel is great. Sounds like an cement mixer at idle. But that's to be expected from a lightened flywheel. I just upped my idle a bit to die the noise down.
