Button clutches work well if you mostly using them for drag racing(not a very good idea for normal street driving) and they will wear out your flywheel and pr.plate faster, so it's up to you. if you don't care for the flywheel and wonna have fun, go with it..

i've used one of mine I got from Clutchnet for over 20k and then had called them to replace buttons, they sad not a good idea to replace, better go with new one, since the disc takes a lot of heat, you won't know for sure how long it'll last..

i have 6 button clutch with springs, heard of act clutches good things, but since i've started with Clutchnet got my second clutch from them, love it..one more cool about Clutchnet discs is that they have that back plate which covers the springs, so they won't pop out in case if something happens.

you might not need it, it depens on your horse power, what Clutchnet guys told me,that 6 puck disc can hold up 150 over stock with stock pressure plate.. after that it might start sleeping..

might as well, if you have money of course..actually also from what I was told if you go with stronger pressure plate, the disc might last longer, it won't take as much abuse on itself..
