Clutch advise
When the dust settled I went with a ACT street disc and HD pressure plate. It was a little bit stiffer than stock but all in all not nearly as bad as some others I've tried I did it because my car is a daily driver and I needed to make sure my leg wouldn't fall off after long periods of using the clutch in traffic. So thats my recommendation.
A solid disk or segmented disk (not pucked)will be fine for you. The act street disk is a good choice paired with hd pressure plate. When it comes to flywheel your best bet would be to get the stocker turned. I have a 6 puck mated to a street lite flywheel. I love the clutch, but when I do it again will go back to stock flywheel and still keep another act.
Best bet before you buy is research. See what a lot if people are having less issues with. Also you will need to get cmc replaced. Better to do it before you have to do it. When installing aftermarket clutch, it is not if, but when the Oem goes.
If you put in the time and research you'll make a decision you'll be happy with.
And for all those retards that always suggest twin plate..... Not everyone has that kind of money for bragging purposes. Most people on here will never need that much clutch.
Clutches are rated at the amount of TQ it can handle, not how much HP you have.

I am going with either full face or 6 puck. Most likely full face.
This is what clutch master had to say:
"The HDCL ("full faced") disc does tend to have a higher life expectancy compared to the 6-puck since it is not as aggressive and you will not slip it as much. The HDC6 6-puck disc does have a higher holding capacity but it more aggressive which is slipped more frequently which is return reduces the life expectancy of the clutch kit.
For a street application I would recommend the HDCL full faced disc since it is smoother on engagement and has a higher life expectancy compared to the 6-puck."
"When I refer to "street application" I'm talking about stop and go traffic, freeway miles, to and from work. Track application will be 1/4 track with super stick tires or road racing every other weekend.
Now if you yourself know you have a very "spirited" driving style and think your at the track when your really driving on the street then that should lean you more to a more aggressive clutch kit to handle your aggressive driving."
