These things are going for like $300 shipped brand new on Ebay right now. Invidia is $500 and weighs more. You really have to wonder is it worth it to pay $1350 for the J's for a few more ponies, the difference can get you a pair of Megan track coilovers!

I removed mine 60k and had no issues. I then replaced the clutch and flywheel at 80k and now have 101k on her. I autcross my car all of the time and drive it hard. My diff is still holding strong

Pressure plate is the same, I think you mean your flywheel.

Lighten your 22pound flywheel = increased performance, less strain on your clutch, main engine bearings. Remove your CDV = increase your performance, remove added wear on your clutch. Dont drive like a douche and you wont have problems with your drivetrain.

Oh and by the way you cant chirp your tires if you have a CDV do to its very design, that would mean your CDV isnt doing its job. In A situation like this your CDV is designed to slip your clutch between hard fast shifts to prevent the shock to your drivetrain. Sucks for your clutch. You go with a Ap1 flywheel or lighter and remove your CDV and you could chirp them.
