act also makes great clutches that are fairly priced.



no matter what, just make sure to stay away from centerforce, aside from that, you should be fine.

[quote name='j9fd3s' date='May 30 2005, 06:47 AM']if you're racing it a sprung hub puck style is great, they are only a pain from a stop.

Disagree.





[quote name='mazdaspeed7' date='May 30 2005, 10:58 PM']I had an ACT HD pressure plate with a RB sprung 4 puck disc on some japanese chromoly 8 lb flywheel in my GTU(TII driveline), and I loved it. The clutch engaged very smoothly, and it was no problem driving in traffic at all, even with the 8 lb flywheel and a torqueless ported n/a engine.



The clutch took a little getting used to, as there isnt an engagement range like the stock clutch(and most organic clutches), there is an engagement point. Mazda clutches seem to have a broader engagement range that most on their stock clutch discs, and I had a hard time getting used to the puck clutch at first. But once I got used to it, I found it easier to transition to other cars.



The key to taking off smoothly with a puck clutch is letting the clutch out until it just starts to grab, then just holding the clutch there and feed in more gas. If you try to let out the clutch more as you feed in gas, it will chatter.

Agree.



But I have RB's 17lb Flywheel. Love the shredding style engagement.
