how much HP are you pushing and how much would you be pushing in the future? that way you only have to upgrade the clutch one time , mainly to save on cost and time lost.

+1 for sprung, theres a fairly big change in drivability when going to the non sprung version.

If you DD the car theres really no reason to go solid. If you want quiet stay single dics, twins are noisy and overkill for a basic bolt-on car.

Comp is pretty local, Conyers, Ga to be exact. I'm guessing most people didn't use their clutches because they didn't hold that much tq because of their old pressure plates , until now that is. With their new 3000lb pressure plate, the tq ratings are as follows (from EnglishRacing's website):

2100 sprung street disc - 450tq (best driveability and only $495!)
2600 sprung kevlar disc - 525tq (<--- with their old PP, this disc was only rated at 350tq)
sprung 6 puck - 575tq
sprung 4 puck - 600tq
*unsprung discs have the same rating as their sprung counterparts*

have had an ACT from day one with mine no issues. Not much clutch rattle at all rated to 507 torque which is likely more than you will make on your stock motor. I love them they have a little pedal stiffness but nothing major at all. hdss kit.
