Why I went with the more expensive sprung 6 puck fx400.

I was actually OOC due to the lack of funds. My main man was making bank at his job (at the time) and decided I MUST boost, and ordered it for me only wanting $200 in return. He called it a b-day gift :-) Funny part is he sold out and got rid of his turbo vehicle for a truck, we hardly talk these days. Lol!

My fx500 arrived today. I went with the 4 puck disc but kinda wish I went with the 6 puck now. I'll try install it within the next few weeks and post up my thoughts. Currently I have a jwt pp and jwt one sided metal disc which chatters and I was never to crazy about. Hopefully I'll be happier with the CM clutch.

I was running the ACT PP and the B15 OEM disc. Even though I'm not making a ton of power it took quite a bit of abuse, too many auto-x's and the one time at the drag strip it started feeling scratchy. Lasted me 18 months (the disc) along with the Fidanza flywheel.
