Unsprung is no good for daily driver. Chirps on every launch. Not good if there is a cop around I have the stage three, and I've had good luck with it. I thought about upgrading to the four, but then I learned about why they're not good for DD. Check Horsepowerfreaks.com they have good prices on clutches. They used to price match too.

Mod List. Um WAY too many to fit on here. But the engine can handle about 800HP
Im very famaliar with the difference b/t a sprung and unsprung hub. We used to run an unsprung in our GF ITR (10 sec car, but was still DD'en -- essentially on or off, no slip).
These clutches are to expensive to replace every year, so Im not about to put another stage 3 in and risk having the same thing happen again next year.
Types of Driving: Drag, Drift, Road Race, Rallye, Pulling, Circle Track
For heavily modified engines or engines of any modification level being used in the above driving environments, where an instantaneous engagement and light weight are beneficial. Not street-friendly due to harsh engagement.
Is a 6 puck clutch, unsprung hub.
Maybe its just because the clutch isnt broken in yet, but the engagement really isnt bad at all. Def a diferent feel than the sprung hub clutches, but its still controlable and not harsh at all, unless your not paying attention or come of the clutch quickly. Pedal isnt much heavier if at all than the sprung hub stage 3.
Now I need to call up Spec and see if theyll fix the springs in my old stage 3, so I can sell it
wish i woulda seen this earlier. Lotta srt guys run a 6 puck clutch in their car, and it's not too hateful for a street car (I have one on order for mine too). It's when u get down to the 4 and 3 puck clutches that you're screwed lol

2001 Sebring Coupe - V6 5sp 1995 Sebring Coupe - I4 5sp Political correctness advocates the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
The stage 3 was a 6 puck clutch too, so wasnt worried baout that -- was more concerned about pedal ffel since the stage 4 is an unsprung hub.
Reguardless, stage 4 is in the car, have about 700 miles on it now, and though it does bite hard (and a lot harder now than when it was first in the car), have been able to get through traffic so far with it..
