drag racing... a 4 puck clutch is going to be a bitch on a daily driver, but its not impossible.

I have a sprung 4 puck clutch. Its just one of those things you have to get used too. It feels like a ON/OFF switch. My GF gets irritated sometimes when we are in traffic but I don't mind.

wouldn't it wear out quicker than a stock clutch?

sprung hubs are worse for traffic/daily driving than unsprung.


and 4pucks are not good for street.

I have a sprung 6 puck and it's a lot easier on my tranny than my buddy who has an act 6 puck unsprung. how would a sprung clutch disc be worse than an unsprung one?? IMO i think the sprung clutches don't grab as hard as unsprung ones so it's easier on your tranny/axles.

I think you got it the other way around.
