ACT's 6 puck and 4 puck discs are the ceramic race discs. They don't require any break in periods. Only their street discs need about 200-300 miles of normal driving.

We put on in my friends GSR last night, no break in for him.

it is actually recommended that you drive "normal" for approx. 500 miles before standing on it and driving the hell out of your car with a new clutch. i would think you should wait at least 200 or 300 miles to do that with a racing clutch, just to be sure you don't have to do the whole thing over again right after installing it.

however, i did just put a new clutch in my crx - just a stock one - this car is set for autox, so it is a totally done up engine and we didn't give it much of a break in time before hammering on it and we didn't have any problems. but we still gave it a good 50-75 miles before we thromped on it at a race.
