RE: clutches
A 6 puck clutch isn't a good daily driving clutch though. If its your daily driver you'll wear it out FAR sooner than you would a streetable disc. Its a high sprung clutch meant for drag and minimal road use. A 4 puck clutch is meant STRICTLY for race and nothing else. Puck clutches are also VERY chattery, very loud, and have very harsh engagement. They take a bit of getting used to. The pedal feel is much stiffer than stock (especially with a puck), so if you drive your car everyday, a puck clutch isnt for you.
The clutch I am getting, and have seriously read up on is the ACT Street Disc clutch. Capable of handling 475ft-lbs of torque.

Slightly more vibration
Slightly more chatter
Slightly stiffer pedal feel
Slightly harsh engagement
But a clutch that can handle the power AND not sacrifice daily driveabilty. Only problem with ACT is you NEED to use their flywheel. In the link I provided, thats a kit, it comes with the Throw-out bearing, Pressure Plate, Clutch, and Flywheel for that price. Theres other websites that are cheaper if you shop around. Part Number is: ACTDN4-HDSS put that in Google and you'll find a cheapest price of: 569.49 from Carolina Clutch.com

RE: clutches
the cm s4 6 puck is perfect for daily driving, i've had it in my car for almost a year. i had the cm s4 4 puck before that and even that was fine for street driving. don't believe what cm tells you about the s4 being a "track only" clutch, as it's very streetable and very well behaved once broken in. yes, it chatters like a ****, but other than that it's a great clutch. i am very happy with mine and if i ever need another clutch, it will be a cm one, probably the s4 yet again. they not only make a great clutch but have excellent customer service as well. btw - the s3 is horrible, don't even consider it!!!!
