The shop that installed it tells me the chatter will go away after 1500 miles after the fact. I don't see this happening. It is very smooth in higher gears and high rev. Also feels very solid.
I also have the 11.5 light flywheel. I get a buzzing noise when decelerating and a excessive vibration during heavy acceleration that I did notice before. I've been using the car for daily driving, but may drive the Infiniti sedan more often since it is not as friendly to drive with the new clutch.
I'll give an update after the 1500 mark and taking it back to the shop to make sure all the bolts are tightened. My original choice was the kevlar stage 2, but they shop convinced me the stage 4 was just as smooth - I should have went with my original decision at this point.

crank walk i read was only a issue with the ACT Extreme Pressure plate.
i am personally running the ACT Heavy duty PP with a 6 puck and clutch masters 8lb flywheel.
i had a stage 4 Clutch master setup previously 6 puck as well and man that thing was kinda a bitch to drive heavy pedal and if your on a hill and trying to reverse Good luck lmao.

): just let the pedal out fairly quickly then adding throttle (or very, very little before). It should engage super smooth, but firm, with no chatter whatsoever.Even my 50-year-old dad had no problem with this setup, smooth shifting and no stalls from the first time he drove it.

Strangely enough, it is starting to get smoother now that I've gotten past the 500 mile mark. Can't wait to open it up completely after 1k miles. How long did it take for the chatter to go away completely?

So the chatter goes away, but does the rattling?
