Default Lightweight Flywheel on '04 GT3

I'm interested in the LWFW for my '04 GT3 to freshen her up a little. Any advice or concerns from you guys that have done it? Where to buy the parts? Is it as easy as using the Factory 996GT3RS stuff? ECU concerns? Clutch upgrade at the same time?

Thanks for any insight.

Mark

I bought the complete RS flywheel/clutch kit from Suncoast motorsports it's on thier web site. I also had the ecu reprogramed to take advantage of this. I've been really happy with the results and would highly recommend it. The difference is very noticeable.

I got all the parts from ViperBob here on Rennlist. No ECU programming needed on the '04-'05 996
GT3. My dealer installed at PCNA's expense during a RMS fix.

I had it installed on my 04 with no ECU work as well. In addition you should do the crank pulley. Nice upgrade.

Got mine from Viper Bob here in Rennnlist too. The car is a lot more fun. Seems much quicker through the first three gears. Popcorn rattles when the clutch is out takes some getting use too though.
