I just ordered an ACT sprung 6 puck for 125.17 out the door. This is $26 cheaper than I could find elsewhere with shipping.

enjoy your 6 puck.

I hope it works out. My pressure plate is still good, so I didn't want to drop the coin for an entire kit. We'll see how much fun a 6 puck is with an xtreme pp. At least it is a sprung 6 puck. It'll be managable.

i have the 6 puck unsprung with xtreme pp and its not that bad... you just have to pay attention to get rolling in my case with the 8 lb flywheel.

I've driven an ACT XT 6-puck on a 9lb Fidanza and it was probably the most un-streetable clutch/fw combo I've ever experienced in a Miata, including my 600ft.lb-capable 949twindisc.

When Savington and myself agree, it's like dividing by zero.

I drove y8s' twin disc, I was impressed; even with it being out-of-whack if you will. I'm done with pucked clutches foreverz.

From a cost stand point, I don't see a much better alternative. I could try another performance organic disc.

i mean it's not really a big deal. I'm sure you'll be fine with it. It's just not as fun as a street disc. I just dont like thinking when i drive, or chirping tires when i screw up.

You can get 6 puckers to drive nicer if they have a sprung hub and you have the various linkages set up just right. Having said that…they can be a great way to embarrass your friends who think they are good drivers…they'll stall and shudder, especially in reverse.

keep in mind that was all of 8 lbs of flywheel plus 8 lbs of clutch too

i mean, if you had told me it was stock I'd have believed you.

most unstreetable? its not bad, you just have to rev it up before you let out the clutch.

try driving it downtown with a dead clutch master.

I hated my lightened flywheel at first, now that I am used to it is fine. I've heard there is quite a bit of difference between the sprung and unsprung 6 puck clutches. Since the interweb only contains truth, it would appear that the sprung ACT 6 puck with xtreme pp is very streetable. I will most definitely post a review compared to my ACT performance disc.

I will admit, if it wasn't a money issue, or I was starting from scratch I would have purchased the FM stage 2 clutch and pp.

It was smoother to shift that car without the clutch, let's put it that way. The easiest way to get it off the line was a 2500rpm clutchdump - you'd get about 2 rotations of the rear tires and then roll smoothly away from the line.

I did 30k on a pucked ACT HD, so I know what it's supposed to feel like, but that ACT XT/6-puck combo was really awful. I'm sure you could get used to it, but bleh.

Sprung or unsprung???

my friends who have rode in the car with my setup mention how aggressive the clutch is... that is undeniable...

but i have learned to drive it such that i can drive it like a normal car.... you just have to rev it to 2500 to let it slip... and it will chirp at you because its solid hub, but it still goes like a normal car without any chatter.....


it will take you a week OP to get used to it.

When I'm at stoplights, I'm too worried about what boyz I can holler at than if I'm going to be able to get into first without looking like an *******.
