I know both of these clutches will support my power goals. I am actually using these on an rb25det.

My question is this, which is more driveable?? Can you guys give me real world experience? I do drive in stop and go traffic!

Thanks alot - Evan

I would never buy anything else but RPS.

I have a RPS 6-Puck MAX and RPS Segmented Flywheel in my TTZ, it is by far the best damn clutch I have ever bought, you can throw any power at it and it will hold.

not familiar with those models but, a sprung hub is more streetable than a solid hum and a solid friction surface is more streetable than a multi puck, so most streetable is solid surface sprung hub, most grippy track oriented would be multi puck on a solid hub, ust figure out what end of the spectrum you intend to be on

I have the ACT stage 3 clutch with a light weight flywheel. The previous owner purchased them from Stillen. I'm not sure if the clutch is solid surface or multi puk, but it is definitely streetable. The pressure is actually pretty light and the clutch definitely engages very solidly. I've never had RPS so I can't comment but figured I'd add on ACT since Honad is pro RPS. Some other guys here may have had both and can say different but I'm very satisfied with my ACT.

RPS is the way too go -- much more streetable -- more stock like feel -- get their flywheel while your at it -- makes a huge difference !

honestly with the z32's power boosted clutch pedal you could have a heavy pp with not noticing it, but the grip of a performance clutch from a stop can get a bit grabby for street use, a lto of people gripe abut race clutches on the street but I find that you adjust to their initial bite rather quiclky, the whiners are those with marginal driving skills
