I have a 6-puck Comp. Clutch and it's not all that bad. Took me a few weeks to learn how to keep shudder to a minimum and going with stiffer engine mounts helped significantly. OP- Do yourself a flavor and get some good engine mounts when you upgrade the clutch....chances are yours are toast by now anyway.
Derp? Maybe this is why I don't really have a problem with my 6 puck? I have mazdaspeed mounts front and rear.

I have a brand new set of mazdaspeed mounts just waiting for an opportunity to go on. I suppose this is it huh? 
Those, coupled with the turnbuckle on the drivers side of the engine, should guarantee it Pretty much never moves.

Yes. I had to toss some stock/soft mounts in my car after the engine swap last year and with the 6-puck, it was pretty bad...enough shudder that the turbo was contacting the frame ever so slightly. After tossing in the Mazdaspeed MX-5 (NOT MazdaComp aka Mazdaspeed Motorsports) mounts in, almost all of it has gone away. I'm still on stock diff mounts though.

I thought you guys might get a kick out of the carnage.
The back of the Pressure Plate,
And of coarse the front,
The clutch disc is completely devoid of friction material!
On both sides even!
And this... I call Harry
Harry was collected up at the top of the clutch. There is a LOT of Harry there too!
