If you go with a 6 puck, make sure its a sprung center.....

BUT... I like ACT as well, but for an N/A I'd go with the heavy duty and street strip disc.. I had one on my GTU and it worked flawlessly

maybe spend some extra cash on the whole deal, like flywheel, good pressure plate, etc.
you really don't need any crazy clutch in there with the NA power output...but with the above mention in addition to a new clutch you will get a lot better response and feel from the car.

IMO 6 puck is overkill for a N/A.

6 puck is definitely overkill.. I'd get a street disk, upgraded pressure plate and a lightened flywheel..

you do realize how much all of that **** comes out to right? A lightened flywheel alone is at least 350 for a new one. and all the clutch goodies can add up to about 5-600 bucks easily. just so you know (i hope you allready did)


But someday i will have an Aluminum flywheel
