I can get a friction disk for sub 200$, versus a full ACT setup is 300+.
the friction discs are interchangeable with ACT.

for me the puck type ACT are compleatley street drivable.

As far as engagement goes I notice Zero difference between a 4 or a 6 puck. the organic discs are a bit smoother engagement but the ACT brand puck clutches still slip some and are fairly consistent and easy to get use to, I've driven much worse.

an un-sprung disk will buzz like crazy and be annoying as hell when passing through no load through the driveline situations like happens allot cruising down the highway or driving around town as the disk rattles on the input splines and all the gears in the transmission. if its only driven in anger like on a track or autocross then this doesn't matter so much because when its transferring load there isn't the buzz.

ACT has specs for pad thickness. If you ring them they'll give them to you and you can find out for sure.
