not really worth it just to do it. if your changing the clutch or installing an lsd, then yes, it is totally worth throwing one in while your down there, but to buy one and do it just for that one mod, no, not worth it.

also, keep in mind that the light weight flywheel will make it easier for you to stall in first gear, so drivability takes a nose dive until you get used to.

i've had mine for over a year and a half, and i don't notice the difference anymore, but when i first got it, i was stalling out like a noob just learning to drive stick for a while.

well, my tc is a daily driver, but honestly, i can no longer feel the difference engaging first gear with this flywheel. i remembered stalling out twice in the parking lot when i got my car back with the flywheel, and gradually getting used to it, and then occasionally stalling at a stop and going "oh yeah, flywheel, d'uh" but these days it is 100% second nature, so yes, your commute might be a pain for a bit, but you'll overcome it and like it.
