cashslick... the revs drop faster in BETWEEN shifts... the car slows down in gear SLOWER not faster. A lightended Flywheel will reduce the ability to suplement brake braking with engine braking....

besides that the only real problems with lightened flywheels is quality of manufacture... some of them are not balanced well some are a little warped... some are 2 pieces that like to get back to being 2 pieces...

over all there are no HUGE cons... but they are there..

A.. try launching at 3-5k with a lightened flywheel... it just doesn't have as much inertia behind it when you pop the clutch... it's not impossible but it's far more effective in a stock unit.
B. there can be probs with the starter properly engaging the flywheel. (mostly on jdm flywheels as they are slightly dif. then ours)
C. all the little stuff mentioned b4
