s14 Need Clutch Opinion: ACT HD 6 Puck /w Prolite Flywheel KA24DE Anyone Running this?

Hey guys, so i currently have an Exedy Stage 1 Organic Full Face, after some clutch kicks and a good amount of daily driving, its starting to slip and im pretty sure its going to grenade soon.

Anyways, motors basically stock but I plan to continue to track the car and abuse the hell out of itm, with turbo not too far away. Just wanted to know if anyone is running an ACT 6 puck with a HD Pressure Plate and a Prolite flywheel or any other lightweight flywheel with this clutch.

IF THATS YOU!!!! Whats you opinion on it as for drive-ability? My only fear is that with that light weight fly, its gonna take a good rev to get it moving forward and the chatter will destroy my face. If you are in Socal and happen to have this setup I would like to meet you. Lemme know guys and thanks for any help, very much appreciated!

if u wanna be "comfortable" daily driving, get a sprung clutch. anything "puck" is morelike an on/off switch, so riding-the-clutch in traffic is more difficult.

a lightened flywheel takes LESS to getthe motor going, as the rotating mass is reduced. the pressure plate and clutch determine the "slipage"

also gotta consider ur leg muscles, as more performance clutch usually means more leg work.....unless u start mixing and matching parts. to many variables for a simple answer to your question

Sorry for being unclear, its a 6 puck sprung disc so yeah its gonna be more on and off like but i was just wondering if it not tooooo bad. I've driven some Hondas with 6 pucks spring discs which were not actually that bad, but since they are all cable driven systems they are supposed to be worst than ours so I was still curious if anyone had one.

Also as for the flywheel what I was concerned with is yes since its less mass and takes less energy to spin making it rev faster, doesnt that also make it have less force or inertia when it transfers the power since its lighter, making you have to rev a bit higher for it to engage properly? Or so i thought?

If the clutch feels "on/off", use the Nismo clutch slave cylinder to get more "range" out of your clutch pedal.
