My friend had one and it made a crazy ass squeeking noise.

It was basically a race car, so it didn't matter.

It was a 6puck sprung.

I had a 6 puck sprung. It held power fine, the petal felt dead, and only lasted ~6 months (2 drift events in there).

dang that seems LOW. 1900clamp force for a 6puck? Hell clutchmasters are over 2000psi on just stage 1 or 2. lol not even a 6puck. Id get somthing a lil more than 1900psi if you plan on having power.

yes im sure they are higher on non 6 puck clutches cause they pretty much use the same clutch disk as there stock replacements but a higher lb pressure plate to call it a "stage 2", it will hold more power than a stock one cause of the clamp force. 6 puck clutches are usually made out of a different, higher heat resistant material than anything less.you dont really need anything more unless your looking for your entire dashboard to rattle apart and have some rough shifts, or you plan on making 300 plus.. in my opinion that is. it holds the power and is very streetable so im fine with it. ive had multiple clutches with higher lb pressure plates and i dont wish to go back to them.

i had a stage 2 for about 5000 miles broke it in properly and everything ..worked fine when i sold the motor i took the clutch off and it appeared a little worn for the amount of miles on it never gave me any problems while i had it ..i now run competition clutches they are a good deal and hold some power.
