light weight fly wheel yes or no?

[2000 legacy b4]

basically a pros and cons thread so I can make a better decision on what to go with, spoke to Neil at Auto Clutch and he told me i\'d be losing HP for the sake of getting the revs up quicker, Also apparently with a light weight fly wheel you wont have as much torque where as with a heaver one they generate more torque, Ideally i\'d like some info from some one who has one in their Subie and can tell me what they like about it!

so much info already out there... https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=light+flywheel+pros+and+cons&oq=light+flywheel+pro&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l3.15986j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

I\'m no expert, but with a lighter flywheel reducing parasitic loss; I would imagine Power and Torque would increase.

You will not lose HP or Torque.

The main consideration with a Lightweight Flywheel, is the difference it makes in a daily driver situation.

Hill starts or any incline will be difficult and increase the possibility of spinning up the clutch.

I have a 5.3kg billet flywheel in mine, it\'s been one of my favorite modifications thus far, but I will say this; you may curse having it due to the issues above.

If you don\'t go stupid on it\'s weight then overall you won\'t notice any drawbacks.

i have a 4.5 kg one in my car and i love it . come drive it if you want .

if it is your car to get to work i prolly wouldnt bother .

it changes gears so much faster and will rev match amazingly and changing gears in corners etc un settles the car so much less . mainly down shifting into corners etc

I more than likely will go for a lightened one as the pros seem to be out weighing the cons so far!
