Do you really want a clutch that will own you a few times a day and make you look like you learned how to drive a stick yesterday?
I wouldn't mind a crazy clutch if I was on the track every weekend, but for a car that spends most of it's time on the street, some of these clutches don't make a whole lot of sense. I've tried them, I'm comfortable with using them, but it's very, very clear to me that many of these clutches are ill suited to daily driving. Sometimes, that's the cost of making huge power. However, I prefer to make huge power with no/minimal compromises compared with a stock car.

) i tell people to get the ACT pressure plate with stock oem disk, it has held their torque (360+ft/lbs of torque) just as well as my CC setup did, but with none of the aggravation!

Stage 4 (6 puck, sprung) CC clutch here. Personally, I find it easier to drive then the ACT setup once the [CC] clutch is broken in.
I think id rather walk then drive with his clutch setup.

The stalling is really a problem if you have a smaller battery. The PC680 can only handle a few stalls before it doesn't have enough juice to restart the car. At that point, you either need a jump or a push start...Tim

After about a 1k breakin, I find my clutch much easier then the OEM one was (except it rattles a bit but I don't mind).
The act setup I found to stiff making it harder to slip correctly but thats just me.

ACT we've all got is pretty easy and smooth
I drive it everyday with no problems.
And John drives his everyday and he hates it
