Clutch: Sprung or Unsprung?
 
what is the difference in a clutch that has a sprung disc or unsprung disc. i know that obviously the sprung ones has little springs on them but how does it compare when driving? does one have a way harder feel? which is better for daily driver/track?

unsprung has more vibration and its more grabby. sprung hub is soo much better for a daily driver/weekend terrorizer. i had a unsprung and id never do that again unless i was makin like 1000 hp

Sprung clutch discs absorb the clutch chatter that you get with an unsprung clutch disc. I'm running an unsprung in my Integra and I barely notice any chatter. Once you get to know how the clutch is going to want to be driven, you'll have no problem with clutch chatter.

heh actually hotrex is right about the grabby part too. I chirp the tires in first gear every time I have to stop and then go again :P But I like that break neak grab feel ;)

cuz i was looking at the clutches 88turbocrx had and i like the 6puck sprung clutch for the d-series. does it have a hard pedal feel since its 6puck or ---- it? its still good for daily driving and occasional track right?

its not the disc, its the pressure plate that gives the pedal pressure.

Same clutch I'm running too. I bought mine from him. I have a hydraulic clutch so I really don't notice a difference in the ammount of pedal force it takes to hold the pedal down. It might be different with a cable type clutch though.
If your worried about it, I'd go with the sprung kit for a daily driven car.

Yeah I got the unpsrung clutch from him to....I think trance and me or the first ones to get it :) .
I have a Hydro tranny .... so the pedal is smooth as silk.
I bet it's a bit harder with a cable tranny
