depends on how you like your engagement.
I recommend either the full face or 4 puck as the 6 puck chatters way too much.

how much you care to deal with.
4 puck engagement is a bit harsh and takes some getting used to.
full face engages like stock.

I have the full face and I would highly recommend it for street use. I think unless you are running high horsepower and don't drive your car on the street, the full face one is good enough for you.

you can go with clutchnet. I have a brand new clutchnet 6 puck with sprung hubs and a DUAL diaphgram pressure plate. I was going to put it in my car.. but got tired of waiting.. so I put in my ACT street strip clutch. I had this clutch in my car and it grabs like a biatch. it also engages quite hard, but still very streetable because of the sprung hubs. If you are interested in this Im asking 200 shipped for it. I do not check these forums regularly.. so please email me at mingchi96@hotmail.com or call me at 214 566 6083. Thanks

i have the ACT XTplate and SS full face disc!!! i had around 4 lapping day with that clutch!!! i have no problem during the last lapping day..... i couldn't shift the next day when i was driving down the street!!! finally i need to tow the car back home!!!
the next day i took the tranny out, i thought that's probably the pressure plate problem!!! when the tranny off, the problem is the disc!!!
the disc came with 2 side and some bolts hold them together!!!


one of the side came off!!! so i put my factory back now!!! i am still looking for a new one!!! i will post a pic of the disc later, luckily that my spoon flywheel is ok!!!
BTW, do u think i can go back to ACT???

V, look at the center of that disc. Looks like it says EXEDY!!!!! That is because ACT took a STOCK EXEDY unit and REBUILT IT!!!! Just like CM CF and CN Why not get the EXEDY Racing unit and have the REAL DEAL?

I've got the ACT street strip with H/D PP in my R with nitrous. It grabs fine even after 25K miles worth of spraying. The extreme pressure plate is not necessary, especially if it's your daily driver

Same here, Streat strip disc, and Heavy Duty Preasure Plate. Should be fine, really no need for a 4 or 6 puck disk. This set up grabs like a SOB when your shifting hard, say going down the 1/4 mile strip. The pedal feel isn't much stiffer than stock, perfect for a daily driver. IMO.

I am going to need to get a new clutch soon. How much are the ACT clutch and if i do get a clutch im going to get a flywheel too. Could you guys suggest a price with and without the flywheel. Im a daily driver so i dont need anything too heavy duty. Help me out though cause the stock one feels like its almost gone......
