not for this car but i did get it from Clutchnet

i got my discs for my car a few times from Clutchnet guys, i actually stopped at their place ones and they showed me all the staff they make there, was quite interesting.. i never heard of them before, they happened to be in business for over 40 years, and all they do is clutches..
i've 6 puck sprung hub disc 2 times, loved it..

never used one, but as what i understand they don't hook up as good as 6 puck..
you should probably talk to clutch specialists, or in this case clutchnet guys

i've used 2 companies

i've used 2 different manufacturers, act and clutchnet, 6 puck solid from act and 6 puck sprung from clutchnet, both worked good, 6 puck solid is harsher then sprung.. really good hook up from both tho..

More importantly, what is this random information and craptacular grammar doing in Racing & Competition? Take your ebonics riceboy clutch discussion elsewhere.

Aren't you worried about launch and clamping force in a car with barely enough torque to pull the skin off of old pudding?

they're usually reserved for drag racing

definitely a spam thread, and you can likely guess from where ...
