street disc VS puck disk

hows the puck disc feel...which one feels better?

unless you plan on all out racing i would go with a full disc. i had a 6 puck disc on my 300zx tt and it made it very hard to ease into shifts. trust me on this one you won't like it.

You car is still on the T25 and you are asking about puck style discs? If you clutch is dead run a regular street disc.

I agree. A street style disc would be ideal for more than 95% of the people on this site. Read this before you make any decisions.

From Road Race Engineering:

Metallic Puck Style Clutch Discs
They wont die. They can take a ton of abuse and wont turn into kitty hair. Even when they get so hot that the pressure plate warps and the diaphragm looses it's spring pressure, they wont fully die. Cool, right? The down side of that "never dieing" is that it allows them to keep slipping, then heat up and grab. The slipping with out dieing makes the surface cracks in the flywheel and pressure plate that will eventually cause the flywheel to come apart. Whether it is a stock flywheel, lightened stock flywheel or a Chromoly flywheel, puck clutches make cracks that kill flywheels, that kill bell housings and more. They have their place but I don't think in a street car. In a race car that gets regular inspections they can be fine. Also most puck clutches have a solid hub center that will contribute to horrible coast down gear noise (worse in an AWD).

Puck style discs can put up with a lot of heat. You also need to slip them more to keep from breaking things. More heat made. When a street disc is slipped too much and gets hot, it disintegrates and turns into kitty hair. You wont keep driving on an overheated street disc. If you get a puck disc to the same temp, nothing happens. That's nice because you can keep racing. But that heat is hell on the flywheel. Just like brake rotors crack when over heated, so do flywheels.
If you keep racing on a cracked flywheel, you will eventually saw your tranny in half. It does not matter if it is a lightened or stock flywheel. We get flywheels sent in to us regularly that are too cracked to use. Those guys cry like babies when they have to pay a core charge. From the cores we get, I would guess one out of ten racers are driving around with some cracking.

stick to a full face disc. After reading your profile i would recommend you check out the Spec Stage 2 or the Competition Clutch Stage 2. both offer full face discs and provide very moderate pedal pressure and an engagement that is perfect for your FWD.

i had a six puck in my 98 gst and never really felt a pedal difference from any other eclipse with a street disk

I daily drive a 6 puck sprung disk...SBR 4000. It's not as easy to let it out, BUT its not bad at all...and it grabs like crazy. Its definately worth the extra headache.

I'd recommend it for all High end horsepower Dsm's.
