Light flywheel, how much extra vibration?
This will probably be something that varies from case to case, but it's been bugging me for a while.
I've had the act prolite flywheel and HD pressure plate setup for about eight months and it's pretty much always vibrated especially after a good 40 miles of highway.
It's pronounced any time I'm off the gas, not just the clutch buzz range. Buzz is still there, worse luck, but it's quite distinct from the vibration I'm feeling all the time. The only time it really goes away is on throttle. Cruising it tends to come and go.
I always put it down to the fact there's less mass to absorb natural gearbox vibration but at the back of my mind there's always the worry that it wasn't balanced or something else was screwed up in the install. This is the first light f/w I've had done so I have no frame of reference.
So, experiences from others with similar setup would be great. I never had a problem with hill starts and I love how easy it is to rev match, but the vibration definitely takes away from the enjoyment of the car. Am I overreacting?

With my ACT-PP / Comptech FW / OEM disk setup the trans is buzzing like a fridge on decell from 3k rpm and up in any gear.
Buzzzz.. buzzzz...
One more reason to stay on the throttle

Haha, my buddy drives a type-s with solid motor mounts and a test pipe that hits the underbody every time he downshifts. He thinks I'm crazy, too.
It's hard to explain, it's loud enough with the top up that it covers the much nicer sound of the T1R exhaust. Maybe by the time I'm done with FI there'll be so many other rattles I'll not notice it anymore.
