The main question is why do it? If your clutch is fine, leave it alone. If you do it, you will need to add the RS clutch too. The stalling issue is really pretty car specific. Some do, some don't and some are in between. A chip may or may not have a profound impact. Do you feel lucky?

I added the RS clutch and LWF in 2002 when my transmission broke. I used the "while you're in there excuse" to re-gear the transmission and add the LWF. I also added a chip designed for CA gas and the LWF.

It is more noisy. What's too much is a personal issue - you should try to listen to someone's car that has it to decide for yourself.

Mine died relatively frequently until I modified the ISV. Then it was fine for a couple years. Now it's stalling again, so I have a new ISV to add and tweak to try and reduce it. Stalling is driving style dependent - you need to let the revs decrease (to say 1500 rpm) before you shift slowly or push in the clutch and leave the car out of gear as you approach a traffic light, stop sign, etc. You'd think that after 7 years I would have it down to an art (hell, I can heal-toe pretty well in a race) but I still end up with stalls occasionally. My wife will no longer drive the car, in part because of the occasional stalls.

So, balanced against the potential down-side, what do you hope to gain? Is it worth the money to you? It isn't likely to make any difference in lap times on the track for less than an expert driver (if then).
