help choosing a clutch disc
so i picked up a used comp clutch 1620 clutch kit and flywheel (stage 4 sprung 6 puck disc) from my buddy baker. with my NA build (300ish whp) and a good streetable disc........which would be best? its not that i cant drive with a hard on/off clutch. been there done that. but id like somethin less aggressive for this car....like that wouldnt kill me if i was stuck in ATL traffic. lol so i was wondering if anyone knew/could vouch for any difference in the feel of a stage 3 and stage 4 disc. the stage 3 is a hybrid iron/carbon friction as the stage 4 is ceramic. and idk the power ratings as CC.com doesnt state such info. sooooo yeah.

I would say look at a twin disc. It's definetly a pretty penny more than traditional but the smooth engagement and lighter pedal are worth it. im speaking from experience on an evo X, best friend from high school did a total bolt on build pushing about 450 at the wheels on street gas and tune. His 6 puck was insane and took about 45lbs of pressure to engage. we looked into the twin disk and decided to test it out, incredibley easy engagement for as much power as he had. smooth pressure all the way to the floor and a huge bite there when you need it.
I know your build is NA but the added reasurance of the twin disk might not be a bad idea, especially if you are looking to spray or boost eventually.
EDIT: The stage 3 and 4 clutches are mainly different on the very bottom of your engagement, the stage 3 is going to be a little more forgiving becasue of the carbon/metal hybrid. that stage 4 is going to be straight bite.
