You guys are not going to belive this the springs never popped out of the JGY 4 puck that I had owned in the past.

EXACTLY! Break it in hard, you think dedicated track cars drive around 500 miles to "break in" the clutch? Its all bs man, run that shit hard, if you plan on racing with it.

Another good clutch setup that i like for moderate turbo setups and ve's are the jwt pp with b15 clutch disk. They seem to hold up really really well. Have awesome pedal feel much better engagement than the ACT i might add and seem to hold power really well. My buddy with his now t28 nx2000 and used to be t25 now has about 38k miles on his car turbod and im talking a ton of abuse on this clutch. Still on the same clutch disk and PP and hasnt broken or slipped one bit. Still holds very very well.

My buddy with his ve 200sx switched from his ACT clutch to that same setup and yes the engagement is way better and smooth as silk.

So thats another one to consider. He has a ton of miles on his car as well with tons of abuse. Races after races and not a single clutch problem.

I don't know how to explain this but there is this bounciness to organic clutches that I hate when you hit the clutch then let it go....do you get this experience when you use the Jwt pressure plate?

Not really man. Any sprung disk you run will give you a bit of a bouncy feel when letting the clutch out in gear or going from no throttle to throttle.
