a 6 puck is not sooo bad, but it is harsher than a full-disc-style clutch.

The four puck chadders a lil more then a 6 puck and is betta for all motor because there's supposed to be less rotational mass to get ur motor up to high rpm. The six puck is a little smoother and I like it better!

Seems fine? Clarify that because everyone I have heard of who drove a 4 puck clutch on the street did not like it.

My friend has a 4 puck Clutch master in his hatch with a GSR and it grabs pretty good. My other friend has a 6 puck ACT Xtreme in his hatch with a GSR and it grabs harder then the four puck Clutch master however the 4 puck does chatter a lil more. The ACT has a harder pedal but it's just because the pressure plate is stiffer. Overall the my friends Clutch master 4 puck is easier to drive just because the pedal isn't quite as hard... Oh and they both drive them on the street just fine. It's mainly hard the pressure plate is.

driven my friend's ACT 6puck? in his b16 rex. It's manageable and I can still drive it smoothly so that passengers will get the impression that it's a stock clutch. But dammit, I don't want to focus that much energy and clutch modulation on my everyday commutes.

Chirping 4th is neat, but ouch, poor tranny.

Yes, chirping 4th is cool. I was doing it for about a week when i had my 6 puck, then i broke my tranny case. Ouch, a lil expensive. I just prefer the clutch to be the weakest link, not the tranny case, axles, etc. Stick with a full face kevlar or organic disc, much nicer on your drivetrain, yet it still grabs pretty hard.
