No sir. Info is getting convoluted and miss-interpreted.

A LWCP will not destroy your bearings.

A LWCP combined with a LWFW in MT cars is not recommended as it has been proven to cause bearing failures in horizontally opposed blocks.

A LWCP will add a slight amount of performance to your car.

A LWCP can increase fuel efficiency, but most never see it and it is not the number 1 selling point. Increased acceleration due to decreased mass is the number 1 selling point.
