What Kind of clutch to upgrade to

[86pro]

HI, im wondering if to go street clutch from ACT or to get into a 6 puck? i only got ecutek stg2 and intake exhaust.

Puck clutches make Daily Driving far less enjoyable IMHO. Stick with full disk type, and don't worry about replacing the stock on until it lets go. Unless of course you are after the lightweight flywheel portion.

Take it from me, the 6 puck is way more than you will ever need for a non FI setup. I'm running a 6 puck on my non tuned stock engine and it's definitely overkill...I put it in because I'll be running FI in January. The biggest advantage with clutch replacement comes from the ability to lighten the flywheel. I need to take a video of how my engine responds to throttle changes...blipping for gear changes is way easier.

So regardless of what you decide to run for a clutch make sure to go with a lighter flywheel, completely wakes up the engine IMO. Clutchmasters steel flywheel is what I am running so you don't need to go with an aluminum flywheel just something a little lighter than stock and you will definitely feel it.

EDIT
I guess I should explain why it's overkill. A 6 puck clutch is made from a ceramic compound and because of this the friction surface is very very grippy. So when you are stopped it is very hard to accelerate smoothly without looking like a jackass revving and peeling out. If you don't modulate the clutch perfectly you do one of two things...stall or lurch. Both suck at an intersection. You also have to deal with the clutch making noise, yes your car will sound like its broken to anyone that doesn't know shit about cars, it's not extremely annoying but it's not a soothing sound either. There are some pluses though, you won't be slipping this clutch into oblivion, it makes spinning 255 width tires a joke, and when you shift correctly feels oh so good.

Ok lets just say that one's stock clutch bit the dust. Is there an aftermarket clutch out there that has the same feel as the stock one? The stock clutch is quite soft but for a daily driver I don't mind it that much.

The ACT Street Disc will then, with lightweight flywheel is the way to go.

Id say go with a Spec Stage 2+, Ive never been a fan of anything ACT.

Ive destroyed every SPEC clutch ive ever used in every application from GTR VW HONDA etc sometimes they are quick to market but they never hold up in comparison to ACT Competition or Clutchmasters
