Pros: Great response, silky-smooth engagement
Cons: LWFW causes the car to rattle a bit if you're in too high of a gear (doesnt do it stock)

My perspective is coming from buying the car with an unprung six-puck clutch being installed to having the HD clutch installed, not from stock to the HD. And boy, WHAT A DIFFERENCE! The car feels exactly what I would expect a stock car to behave. You can slip the clutch nicely to get a smooth start, but this clutch will bite when you want it to! I still wouldn't launch with this clutch though... I havent heard any bangs or clunks, but the 6-puck certainly made me think I blew something up in the drivetrain! The LWFW is nice in everyday traffic, just be sure to give it a tad bit more gas from a stop and you'll be fine. The one small con I would have to say, is when you try to stick it 4th or 5th doing 35 to keep MPG down, the car jitters somewhat. I'm sure its probably just the nature of the LWFW, but it really isnt a big deal to begin with. I love this setup and would recommend it to anyone!

Pros: Grip and the same feel of as the stock
Cons: The POP

The clutch and flywheel give you great grip no slip what so ever. This clutch is pretty much for someone who wants to build the car. The car slams into 2nd gear. Which shows how built this clutch and flywheel is. I like the pop but it does scare me that in the future it may tear out some of the diffs. Got a great price ont his great of a product. You can order on ebay.

Pros: good feel, reasonable price, should hold 20G power just fine
Cons: gear rattle decel

Included the ACT Kit in my 20G build, since I never liked the stock clutch and knew it would start to slip at somepoint. Couldn't feel engagement point all that easily, it seemed to move around, hard launches would cause awful stink if slipped a tiny bit too long. Also scared with some of the photos I saw of exploding flywheels.

The ACT Kit solves the feel issue, actually know what the clutch is doing while engaging now. Also grips really hard on quick shifts, and I love how much faster the revs rise and fall now, engine feels like a freer-revving smaller motor now.

I do have gear rattle between 2K-3K on decel in gear. Breathing on throttle gets rid of it. Other than that, I like the combo, good for a daily driver that is putting down a lot more power than stock.

Pros: Good grip on engagement--feels more like a "GT" should
Cons: Rattle at low RPM

The streetlight flywheel definitely lets your revs rise and fall quicker--a quite noticeable change over the stock.

The clutch does rattle a noise that I can only describe as "nerve wracking," or "Gosh I hope that isn't broken," yet still holds great and shifts great.

Pros: nice bite
Cons: Short life, rattle at decel

Clutch started slipping after 7500 miles ,but in all fairness, I'm exceeding the tourque rating slighty. Bought the 6 puck with the sprung hub and anxious to see hold that one holds up.
