I used the Exedy stage 1 clutch kit that came with a lwfw (FF503, 12.7 lbs). I've heard it's been discontinued now.
I might have gotten really lucky, but so far with 150 miles on it, there been no chatter. My stock flywheel would sometimes make a marbles in a can rattle sound at idle with the ac on, but I haven't heard it at all with this setup. The only significant noise I hear is a cabin resonance on deceleration from 3500-2500 RPM in 5th gear. That might be caused by my whiteline diff cradle bushings though, as the sound seems to come from the rear and is similar to the sound they make, just amplified with the new flywheel. Other than that, this setup is very quiet.
I think what helps is the Exedy flywheel isn't too light and the clutch has inner springs to absorb shocks and vibrations (and is full-faced). It's also easy to drive. I'd highly recommend it (so far).
