Yeah. The clutchnet 6 puck sprung clutches are good becausae they're easier to drive on the street. If I had a car that was only for racing I would go with a double disc clutch, or at least an unsprung clutch.

Those 6 puck are streetable?? Even for stop and go?? Damn that is a good price. I might have to pick that up if it is streetable cause remember, its my daily driver for now.



Thanks for all the input

The springs help out for driving in traffic. I use my car every day with that clutch.

I drove a 6 puck w/o springs, and it wasn't bad, but I always hear people complain. The only worry I would have with it is the extra shock on the drivetrain. You know how I like to baby my transmission. :sigh:

On clutchnet's website it says that the springs are there to take some of the shock off of the drivetrain. Plus I am getting a new shaft made around the same time cause its humming around 90. I don't mind getting used to things, as long as it isn't ridiculously hard to drive on the street. Looks as though I might give it a try. The 7 will soon not be my daily driver anyway.
