turboed NA clutch question
what do you guys recommend?
i am planning on keeping the original drivetrain except replacing the clutch and flywheel while i'm at it (fidanza flywheel, and Exedy clutch)
i've had good experience with exedy, but if there are any other recommendations i could check out i'd appreciate it.

Personnally I plan on keeping my N/A drivetrain for break-in of the new engine and I have a brand new Racing Beat HD clutch.
Unless you plan on making big power, in which case I'd recommend a turbo drivetrain, you should be alright with a stock or standard aftermarket unit. No need to overkill.

Generally the more aggressive the clutch, the harder it is on the drivetrain.
In that sense, I would not recommend the ACT unit as it is brutal to drive. Centerforce has had some mixed reviews but the engagement is close to stock yet it's supposed to provide much higher clamping power. It, or a clutch like it, is probably the best choice if you don't want to go with a puck style.
As for pucks, mine is actually quite easy to drive and only slightly more abrupt then stock. It's a locally made unit by "Eurodrive" so I don't think you'll be able to find one. Unsprung clutches are race only. Don't listen to anyone who says you can drive one on the street. It's torture.

Seriously, I had an unsprung 4puck on my 89 and it was fine on the highway but one day i got stuck in traffic in the city and was near suicidal in under an hour.
