Default clutch masters or act???

Hey!I have got a quick question.I was just wondering which clutch and flywheel would be the best for my application(b18c1 all motor in a 94 hatch)maybe a turbo l8ter on down the road.I am just trying to figure out clutcnasters stage 3 with flywheel or act 6 puck with fidanza(how ever you spell it) flywheel.I have had expierence with cm in my 99 si and i loved it , had 0 problems.It would chirp 5th with 18s.But never with act.So some input would help.I have good and bad about both......................thanks in advance

ACT all the way. it never slipped in my fully built turbo 98 gsr. i had the XTSS, extreme pressure plate and street/strip disc. i just resurfaced my stock flywheel because i dont like driving with a lightened or ultra-light flywheel. just my .02

Do you guys know which model feels more like stock, (not exactly) but close to it? I hate it when it gets all hard, it gives you a leg workout!!! Which one do you guys recommend as far as stages or models?

Fidanza = CM flywheels.... I have a CM flywheel and Action Stage 1KS on my LS no complaints.. grabs hard when you dump the clutch.. but is ultra smooth when grandmas is driving around

ACT all the way.

It feels and grabs MUCH better than any CM that I have ever put to a test.

if you wanna chirp gears go grab an act 6 puck...you can chirp it in any gear you want. But, you'll also have a scrawny right leg and a soccer player left leg from the damn clutch. A puct clutch should not be used on a daily driver.

My buddy had a CM with fidanza flywheel. Revs a little quicker than stock but on the whole feels like stock.

I just got my ACT with a JUN flywheel....couldn't be happier!

ACT!!

the ACT heavy duty 6 puck is probly what ur talking about, the pedal is not hard ,but it is not real easy like a stock clutch, this i what i have in my car and i like it alot.
