Default Clutches... sprung or unsprung? what does that mean?

As far as clutches go, what does it mean if its sprung or unsprung? I'm guessing sprung clutches have greater pressure and holding power? How exactly does the spring work?

If the clutch is sprung it will take less pressure to engage. If this is a every day driver, get the sprung. If your building a full race car, then get unspung, but it will be hard to engage the clutch...real hard. A friend of mine got an ACT unsprung clutch and OH MAN it was rough!!!
