Clutchmasters stage 4 clutch? HELP!

Well, I went to the track again and the stock clutch slipped the whole way (had to give sometime). Now whenever I punch it, it just revs so I don't have too much time. This is my daily driver and I was looking at the ACT, Clutchmasters stage 3 and stage 4. I was told with the power I'm putting down that the stage 3 would be good for daily driving, but if I planned on hitting the track the stage 4 would better suit me. Does anybody have and info/comments for me to help with my decision?

I have seached and haven't found much on the stage 4

Get an Exedy double or trip and be done with it.

I know the Exedy Twin would hold way more than what I have, but how about the daily driving part?

What he said! Thanks. Check out polls, threads, etc. I think we fare pretty well. Not to take away from others, but there are some definite differences that keep our customers happy most of the time.

I have ACT, my GF has ACT, my friend is getting ACT, his friend is getting ACT. The guy with the RPS clutch is changing it to ACT.

with minimal mods with streetability (say 350whp or so daily driver), you can't beat the price and driveability of ACT.

I approve this message.

I got the CM stg 4 kit. I like it because it's a 6 puck sprung clutch. ACT doesn't have this.

It's not installed yet, but I'll report in this summer.
