Ordered the ACT 6puck unsprung

Now I keep hearing how I'm going to hate it, how it's going to wreck my tranny, etc etc.

Assuming I'm of amazing skill level, then it's not too much to think i'd be ok driving this on the street once i got used to it, right?

i have serious plans for this car.

I have one in mine. Its not all that bad when going forward but reverse is another question. It bucks like crazy in reverse. I wouldnt recommended it for everyday driving.

Unsprung clutches put a lot of stress on the drivetrain, especially something as grippy as the ACT. You'll need to slip that sucker alot to avoid jerky starts.

Good LUCK! Please keep us advised on the state of your drivetrain. I prefer the 6 puck Sprung from Pineapple Racing

I have an ACT 6puck unsprung, and I drive it on the street all the time. It is not a big deal, just a different driving style.
