6 puck vs 4 puck unsprung clutch
Just wondering what the difference is. I've driven on the 6, but never the 4. They supposedly hold the same torque. Just looking for reasons to go for one over the other. I thought I saw a thread a while back, I think it was in the s2k forum, but I can't find it now that I actually care to read it.

I have a exedy 3 puck, but its sprung. I was told it would be too hard to drive an unsprung clutch on the street. This one is great IMO.

It sounds like you're already on the unsprung hub, which is just crazy IMO for a daily driver.
The general rule is to go with as weak a clutch as you can that can still hold the power you make. A stonger clutch just puts stress on the drivetrain for no reason.

Re: 6 puck vs 4 puck unsprung clutch (jolt-tsp)
It's for my Civic (track only). Will be running a GT28RS (BB turbo's only for me from now on), hoping for 280 horsepower. I want to overkill a little on the clutch to leave room for improvement. The 6 puck I drove on was on an s2000 and it felt great on the track, but on the street it does get annoying.

For 280, you could easily use a beefed up street clutch like an ACT XTSS, which would drive like a stock clutch with slightly heavier pedal feel. I use a 6-puck unsprung ACT XTR6 on my daily driver/weekend track car. It takes a couple of days to get used to it, but it's fine for daily driving, no chattering, smooth engagement/disengagement, slightly stiffer pedal. My wife, who normally drives an automatic, has no problems driving it smoothly either.

Is it lasting you a while?</TD></TR></TABLE>I have 317hp and 223tq, and I have had this clutch for about a year now. Its holding up great so far, and Ive been to the drag strip a lot-- I have about 50 timeslips in my car... So I am very happy with it, especially considering it only cost me like $400-450 total, installed(I forget exactly how much). I would reccomend it to anyone with a turbo B-series or something similar

That's a function of the pressure plate, not the disk. You can use a 6-puck disk with a daily-drivable pressure plate.
