Primarily looking at the HPF Bronze or Feramic 6 Puck Sprung. Using factory 1J flywheel. Any comments or other brands I should be looking at? Would like something that is slipable and will hold in the high 500s to 600ish range. I am leaning toward the Bronze unless you guys steer me in another direction.

HPF Bronze...Hands down. I have it in my car now and I love it, its the best clutch I have had on my cars. It is very slippable and has no chatter, I have also been to the track a few times and it holds up great. I am currently making 420+ whp. I have the ACT HD PP with it on my 1jz, it is rated to 580 tq i think.
I used to have the Feramic 6 puck with the ACT PP and it welded itself to the flywheel with just 5000 kms on it, it also chattered quite a bit and when ever you slipped it it sounds like it is grinding up the flywheel/ PP. After removing it i found it to be true. I didnt like it at all.

What a ripoff! I called HPF and the Bronze kit doesnt include any of the bearings for $730! Add in the throw out and pilot bearings, and I am over $800 bucks. I dont call that a kit and it should be renamed on the web site.
