wouldnt that stage 4 be great at the track but what bout the everyday driving is that going to be hard or will it be like it is now?

depends on a few things. is it a sprung hub or not? a sprung hub makes everyday driving much easier with almost the same clamping force of a solid disc. i DO NOT reccomend solid discs for the street. some may disagree. but these" solid discs can wreak havoc and trannys and drivetrain components. i have seen tham tear thing up pretty good. the springs on the carrier are there to sort of lessen the jolt when the pucks hit the flywheel. this also make them much more favorable for dailt use as they dont wear your leg off.
the other thing to check for is actual clamping force. most companies will say "ours is 25% more than stock" or something like this. get real numbers. i mean if the stock one is xlbs of force what is yours. dont let them give you this spheal. and i would recc at the most for daily driving a 6 puck disc. do not use the 3 or 4 puck ones they are much more prone to failure and tend to be much more harsh upon engagement.
also depends a lot on the puck material, there are many that companies use:
carbon, kevlar, copper. copper/ceramic, organice, sintered iron etc....
all of these have different properties and holding forces. on the most extreme clutches you will usually see sintered iron, but man what a beating the flywheels takes. carbon and kevlar are the two most common. and most of the staged ones will go... stage 1 : organic stage 2: copper/ceramic stage 3: carbon stage 4 kevlar. or something really close. this also makes a difference driving wise.

If your willing to spend some money Tilton makes a clutch for our car. I will be getting a Tilton Clutch later down the road when it is time for it.

wow 619 for one of those?? thats a lot for what they are.......

i spoke to tilton and unless you want one custom made they said they dont have one to fit out cars. and that would be HUGE$$$$$

so would we have to spend this money to get a better cluch or is this cluch great for what we have (what about the upgrades comming soon can it handle it)
