Default clutches in classifieds

has anybody bought one of the clutches pinned in the for sale forum? is so what did you think of it.
would the six-puck be ok for a daily driver? i heard that the engagement is pretty harsh. which one is better sprung or unsprung?

If your talking about Mikes (88turbocrx) clutches I have one and tested it out on boost today. Works great. Even for NA It was an awesome clutch. It does definately bite harder than the stock clutch but what do you expect from a performance clutch?
I bought the 6 puck unsprung clutch and installed it in my Integra with hydraulic clutch actuator and I do not notice any difference in the required ammount of pedal pressure to engage and disengage the clutch. The pedal feels like stock.
So to answer your question as far as it being a good daily driver clutch, I would say yes. It's fine, and pretty fun (they WILL take quite a beating)

I haven't driven one yet, but I've definately seen those things take some abuse. (first hand) Couple that with trance's daily driving experience, and I don't know what a better buy you could make for the money.
I decided that was the clutch for my setup a long time ago.

Trance: did you get the 250 trq clutch or 320trq? My oem LS clutch is letting go so I need to pick something up soon.

Honestly Stan I cannot remember. Talk to Mike about it I'm sure he remembers, but the clutch is holding up fine and not slipping. Havn't had any problems with it.

Stan id go with the 250 tq, That thing can really take anything you throw at it and the pedal is close to stock. Trance purchased one with a mild pressure plate and 250 tq rating

i know it took some time to get used to my ACT SS clutch but how is the sprung 6 puck differant? i barked my tires everytime i took off even if i didn't mean too is it the same thing? i don't think i really understand the meaning of "harsh".
sorry for the stupid questions
