Launch at an RPM that won't spin, but not low enough where the engine bogs. I launch at 5500, but my b16 has no torque and will barely spin. With my LS, I launched at 4500.

What engine are you running and what mods do you have?? Also, what kind of tire do you have on the front??

I'm using an Exedy stage 1, with an ACT streetlite flywheel. You really just have to get used to it. Its hard at first, but you'll get the hang of it. The first time I drove a 4 puck, I almost stalled it, and I've been driving stick since I was 6 years old.

4-6 puck clutch disks are made using a different material...I think they are metallic, and they bite really hard, which is good for lauching a high horsepower car. Organic clutches use a softer, less friction disk, and therefore reduce the harshness of the engagement, which will give smooth operation for the street.

Unsprung just means that there are no springs on the clutch disk to absorb the shock of the clutch engaging. Street disks use the springs in the center of the disk to absorb more shock, and give smoother, less harsh engagement.

Don't launch them too hard.

Unsprung clutch disks are very harsh on your drivetrain. They tend to break stuff in trannsmissions, GearSpeed has seen plenty damage from unsprung clutches.

If you plan on daily driving the car, its best to get a sprung 4 or 6 puck.
