i have an h2b with an ACT extreme pressure plate and a sprung 4 puck...DD'ing since april...and pucked disks say they arent "intended" for street use...that doesnt mean you cant use them.

I use a six puck unsprung clutch in my DD and I have no problems. Rain soaked roads suck at times but my tires are also to blame on that one.

Been using my 6 puck unsprung and extreme pressure plate combo for 36k miles... tranny is still perfect... you just need to adjust how you try and feather the clutch so youre not jolting forward everytime

the springs allow for a more smooth engagement... once you learn your clutch setup, itll be fine....

one bad thing though... if im in traffic my left leg falls asleep and if im in BAD traffic i sometimes get some clutch chatter while engaging

I've used the ACT 6 puck unsprung for over a year and a half and I've had zero issues.

You'll be fine.
