But since I didn't do it personally, I can't really comment on it = )

if you did do the LWFW with your RS350, would you care to share your experiences?
I've got the Sharkwerks LWFW on my car. Also have Capristo Full Exhaust, Softronic Plenum and Flash. Car revs very fast, barely need to blip for heel and toe. There is more noise say in 6th gear when accelerating around 50 ish mph, but just drop it a few gears to really get into the powerband and no noise. There is also a bit more chatter with the clutch out, but not too bad. Drivability is just as easy as the dual mass flywheel. The car does not stall easier with the LWFW. All in all great mod.
