Default Light fly and clutch opinons

Well i went ahead and ordered me a stage two AWE lightweight Fly and clutch package. I've heard good and i've heard bad for installers and sales people, i would like to hear some input from enthusists. AWE claims it loses 13 lbs at the crank withou changing daily driving charatristics dramtiacly. From my previous experinces stage two clutches can be dogs in traffic, but AWE assures me it's not going to be alot worse, anyone atest to this? Thanks guys.

i have a stage 2 ECS "rs4" (aka RA4) with a lwfy. Its basicaly a s4 disk, rs4 pressure plate and the LWFY.

its a ******* bitch to drive, especially in traffic. if your car isnt tuned past 300 ponies, dont buy this.

I have not driven with a AWE kit, but i got a ride in a stage 3 s4 rs4 swap. The guy said it was an awesome clutchkit.

the ECS one is way too stiff for a daily driver.

Well that's half the problem was the stock flywheel was decimated, 150K miles will do that to a flywheel. Thanks for input guys
