I've had a lightweight flywheel for over a year on my 97 993. I very much like the feel and I
wouldn't go back to the stock dual-mass flywheel.
One downside - in TX we have annual safety inspections. The goofy kid doing the inspection
was incapable of driving my car. I think he stalled it 6 or 7 times trying to get it going. I think he
was a bit nervous.

I love the combination of LWF and short gearing. It does change the personality of the car and the RPM control for heel and toe downshifting is far more sharp and precise. If you are a competent driver and truly want to extact more performance from your car (while not actually increasing horsepower) a LWF and short gearing are the way to go. From there, you have to go to more HP and less weight to achieve better acceleration.
Since I have decided to disassemble my C2S and sell as close to stock as possible, I am offering my LWF, G5-30 short-geared box, RS clutch and LSD for swap and $$$$.

Did any of you guy know that the non-clubsport 993RS have the DMF!? My car is just fine with the DMF and yes it is the 993RS I have. When I change the flywheel I may entertain the idea of the LWF. I don't drive my car daily, nor do I want to. Agree with the previous poster - don't just do it because people are saying that you should. Consider your useage and decide what YOU want.

That's news to me - I thought all RS cars had them on then 993?
I have a single mass in both of my cars, it's not an issue.
I do agree that besides weight loss, lwf and short gears are the best bang for these cars.

How about longevity? The RS clutch is much simplier and more conventional. The DMF is this complicated flywheel that is known to have problems with its mechanism over time. I have had problems with mine well before the clutch disk was worn out. I also think you can reface the RS flywheel but the DMF cannot be refaced...
