yea, it's the last step before going twin plate, or if you can't afford a twin plate. An Iron disk is NOT the same as the full face disk others have suggested.

Go ahead and buy it ;)

Ill talk to you in two weeks when you hate it, and are buying a 6 puck from me :)

Ok.. an Iron disk is METAL. imagine how much slipping can go on between two metal surfaces.. Not much, right? You need some slipping to take off smoothly.

a 6 puck or full face disk has friction material on it. this will allow the clutch to slip as you take off.

a 6 puck tends to chatter SOME. some people make this into a huge thing and say it chatters all the time. in my experience (two cars) the chattering has been minimal, and really limited to backing out of our steep driveway. once the clutch had a little heat in it, it ran fine, but gripped like a mo fo.

enjoy ;)

QFT. Mine does chatter some, but it's not that bad & I didn't mean to sound as if it was. I meant to say that if a full face can handle your goals, to me, it's a better choice....

I have to agree with CK on this. I have driven a car with an iron disk and it sucks. I would never suggest such a clutch that is lke an on/off switch. Even SPEC will tell you that it is NOT a DD clutch. You can go with the 6 puck disk with an RPS PP if you like. My clutch held (almost) for this power and my Torque is 700RWTQ.
SPEC is working on a new clutch combo for my Supra and will be available to the public after I test it and make sure it all works out. I will be making a post with more info once I get the go ahead to do so. It will hold BIG power. (much more than what I have) This new set-up will have a stock feel to it as well :naughty:
