It'd help to know what kind of power you plan to make...

I have the Comp Stage 4 in my GSR at 385whp/285wtq and I daily drove it for a year without complaints. I would certainly recommend it

I'm running a Competition Stage 3 6 puck clutch and pressure plate. Feels like stock when I let go of the clutch. Very easy to drive with.

I have the CC stg 4 sprung. Awesome clutch. Great driveability and grabs really hard. Im gonna see what it does when I throw 600whp at it in a few weeks.

When you get to a puck clutch sprung and unsprung discs dont drive any differently, the springs are more for absorbing some of the shock on the drivetrain more than anythign else. I have a cc stage 5 unsprung in my gsr 406whp, grabs like a **** and once you get used to driving a puck there easy

ACT or Exedy imo. Also dual diaphragm pressure plates are really nice even though they have a heavier pedal.

I have a ACT XTSS and the pedal is pretty firm but it has some nice slip for DD. I have no complaints so far.

Man I had an act 6 puck sprung in my car and maybe drove it for 100 miles. Put it on the dyno and it started slipping at 389whp. Turns out that the pressure plate springs had broken and I had to have It sent back for repair. Their customer service was pretty good but I can honestly say that comp clutch has awesome customer service anthey make an awesome product especially for the money. Never had any experience with exedy tho.

damn that sucks man, i never was a fan of act but there good

the clutchmasters fx400 is also a good clutch

I know ebay stuff is crap but i used to run an F1 stage 4 6 puck and it held very well. only reason it started slipping after 30k miles was because the pp and flywheel wore down, otherwise it would have still held, the disc was in perfect condition

I cant say I dont like ACT, because my pressure plate failing could have happened to any other brand of clutch. I just was really impressed with CC pricing and customer service. Plus I generally only hear positive feedback from CC clutch users.
Ive never ran a clutchmasters clutch but from what ive gathered, ppl really like them too.

Ive ran the clutchmaster and it was a great clutch, held well, Ive gathered that act from some people have problems but any company does really. I drove an act before and didnt care for it, I love my CC though
