Picked up my car on Saturday with the new HKS clutch & flywheel installed.
Thoughts:

Pedal is noticeably heavier than before. Clutch engagement feel is good. Haven't done a long drive to see if the new heft to the clutch will actually be fatiguing.(note I've removed the helper spring in the clutch pedal and thus it would be easier on completely stock BRZ)
Car revs faster with the lightweight fly wheel. Had to adjust my heel toeing a bit as the engine blips faster/with less pedal input.
HKS left a warning of you may hear some chatter from the flywheel. My car has no chatter or I cannot hear it over the exhaust at idle.

Still learning the new clutch a bit. so just my initial thoughts. overall happy

unsure if its worth the extra cost over(JDM tax) other aftermarket solutions.
